Yep. Bogus. It's an .exe so there's nothing you can do with it anyway. Kinda makes you glad you're a Mac user, eh?
Also, makes you worry about the other 90%. The return address can be put in by anyone and doesn't really mean anything. You can choose View->Message->All Headers from the Mail menu and see what address REALLY sent the message. Not that even that will do you much good. Best to discard it and send a thank you note to the person who first suggested you buy a Mac. ::-) Bottom line, never, ever, ever follow the directions, "click here," in unsolicited email, or if it even hints at a slight fishy odor. If it's a legitimate source they will not be asking you to do such things. Two other clues to its untrustworthiness: it's one big low-res graphic, and the written content's tenuous connection to reality: "print out a label and pick up the package?" Indeed. American English and daily life are not what's spoken where THEY live! j. On Sep 24, 2010, at 5:39 PM, Jane Blake Acree <[email protected]> wrote: > Today, I received this E-mail.
