Alright... I am Steamed!

Some people need a life, they really do! :eek: Trying to disguise viruses through e-mail by making them look official.

For example, they always indicate that my mail has become undeliverable. When I receive an undeliverable message, the attachments (which is the message I send) are not blocked. Plus, the e-mail which was bounced back to me indicates who I was trying to send it to.

The virus producers have loss that one. I sent an e-mail to "user@domain.com" and got back a legitimate notice. :D

Just now I receive another e-mail, which OUtlook has blocked the "potentially dangerous attachment". It stated that I have visited illegal websites. Uhm, I don't think so. Plus with it being from the fake e-mail address of "abuse@gov.us" and not as official looking, the "terrorists" loss again.

However, I am about to change my e-mail address and see if I can avoid this garbage. :grr: :grr: Hopefully, the government will catch these yahoos someday. :roll: :wink:

I am sorry, but I just had to rant about this. :)

I hate it too. Scams run amok on the internet.

It is possible! I am mentioning terrorism in a general sense. I don't know any other way to explain it.
