Got a 'traffic tiecket' from NY in your e-mail? DO NOT OPEN!

I didn't see anything in the CD about this and I thought I would warn the BGSF community about it. Just don't be a jerk, simply let me know :spotted owl:


Today I found something strange in my spam box in my e-mail...A traffic ticket! From NY!

Strange, I live in California so my 1st thought was ID theft, but good thing for Google I researched and (Obviously) came up with http://www.wbng.com/news/state/State-Police-Warn-Of-Traffic-Ticket-Scam-125128469.html

Just thought I would let you guys know about the virus/scam :)

There are bigger articles talking about it so just Google it for more info.

Got one also a few days ago

If you check the TO: list and CC: list, you'll notice a LOT of random (yet similar) names - always a clue that it is spam/virus/trojan
