<font color='#810541'>My wife got a weird email on our personal email account last night. It's left me wondering - has anyone heard of something similar:
The email text is as follows
It purports to be from [email protected], but as I am the owner of that domain, and I didn't send it, it's obviously someone trying to pass themselves off as the admin. There is an attachment, which I chose not to open (it's still on the server, I was checking email using my mobile phone and PDA when I found it). Is this some kind of sophisticated spam, or worse, virus attempt?
Any clues?
