I just recieved an email from a guy who's address is very familar to a guy I did just did some buisness with. Even had the guy's 1st name. My software found a virus in it. In the subject line was a reference to a firearm I made no reference or inquiry about.

Even more disturbing is that I got an email in a differant address about a pair of binoculars I supposedly had for say buy the sender made reference to the same guy that send the above as if I were him. Again, an unsolicited item or email. This one did not contain a virus but the attachment had the same name, just a differnat size.

Below is a cut and paste of the email info in the email that contained the virus. Hopefully someone more educated on this can identify the ISP and find about the sender. I will also cut and paste the info on the other e-mail.

Good thing you had your virus definitions up to date.

BTT

I find it odd I would get 2 of these in 2 accounts both with gun related topics in the subject line. We as a group need to watch out, we might be being targeted by......[tin foil hat] anti-gunners[tin foil hat]
