Dont Open Email From The FBI!!!

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

who actually gets email from the FBI anyway?

This still points to the obvous, never open any email from those you do not know, and even then, be extra careful when opening ANY attachments.

I cant belive there being reported now.

I have been getting those emails for about 4 months.
Yahoo detects them easily as the NetSky virus.

I got an email like this from the FBI like, a year ago.

I also got another email from the FBI, but let's not go into that. Had something to do with "violent tendencies" and "potential terrorist activity". Don't know where they got those Ideas.

I would imagine anyone dumb enough to believe those emails and therefore open/download attachments should be removed from the 'net' pool

Well, this isn't the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life, but it's up there. I hate the idiots that come up with these computer viruses and send them to people, just to piss them off. I got an Email like that the other day, claiming it was from the FBI. I just had Stop-Sign scan it and remove the virus, then I just added the address to my spam list. Problem solved.

My name is Sam Fisher, and I'm a soldier. I'm not much of a philocopher, but if you want to know what I believe, then I'll tell you. I believe the greatist threats to our freedom start out small. They begin as random events that most people don't even notice. But they grow, they multiply. They start chain-reactions that threatin the entire world. Some people call that fate, I call it Chaos Theory.-- Sam Fisher, Splinter Cell.
