I guess I should pass this on to my Internet service provider, though I am sure I would get a form letter back saying how many scam emails there are out there and how very hard they are working to do something about it...

I got that one too. Wacky isn't it, to think how many people might have just one credit card and might fall for it?

A friend in Melbourne, Australia just emailed me about a virus scam in which you get a message supposedly from Microsoft (complete with official-looking logos) offering a patch to protect you from a virus or worm. The message includes an exe thing that you are supposed to click on. The thing is itself a virus or worm.

Word to the wise: Microsoft NEVER attaches an update in an email. They always tell you to go to Windows Update to obtain the patch/update/file etc. I get tons of junk emails with files attached claiming to be Windows patches.

Uh.... you mean, I shouldn't have sent them my card number. Uh... Uh....
