Reply to it and see who it goes to. But make sure your security is up to the max.

Just because it is 1kb doesnt mean its not a virus, people can already spoof e-mail and ip addresses without any knowledge of hacking i KNOW you can do the same for e-mails. Just be careful.

There are trojans that are under a kilobyte that essentially download a larger trojan. You just gotta get the little one onto someones comp, and they unknowingly download the larger one.

Scan it with ZA. Detect it with AVG. Kill it with both. (Then check with SpyBot.)

I always thought those where just ways for e-mail spammers to tell if your address is active. Like a Bot randomly generated your address sends a e-mail and if it doesn't bounce back it must be a real addy. But that is just what I thought I have no real idea.

SO MUCH SPAM!

Every week I trudge through that shit, and do the "stop sending me shit" link, then block anything from that domain. And I still get all this shit.

I never used to get spam for like 5 years. Now the only reason I get spam is because I let my computer illiterate sister use my e-mail addy cause she wanted to order something online. They needed an e-mail address to confirm something. She started to surf the webbernet for other things and she got a pop up that "She won $10,000!" I wasn't in the room but she ended up signing me up for a ton of shit.

I have a personal domain (dad has a website) and I keep on getting these fucking Brazilian e-mails. Two out of three have a trick link that sends you to an .exe file download. Spanish is close to Portuguese, so I can get the general idea of what each one is about. I've recieved every OFERTA in the book, from "Donate to save the children," "NAO PAGUE AR POR AGUA! (Never pay anything for water?)", "CARTAO VIRTUAL (Virtual Card)", Links to free pictures (that link to .exes) and porn.

I found this in my inbox.

You may be surprised to receive this letter since you do not
know me personally. The purpose of my introduction is necessitated
due to my situation. I am a ''victim of circumstance'' hence, I
need your assistance if you will. I am Albert king the immediate
younger brother of late Tony King, a brave and dynamic young
soldier who was killed by the Government of my country. I got
your contact through network on line hence decided to write you.
Before the death of my senior brother, he had taken me to Accra-
Ghana to deposite the sum of USD$12.5(Twelve million, Five hundred
thousand United State Dollars), in one of the private security
company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Sierra-Leone. This
money was meant for the procurements of arms and ammunitions

The whole problem started when the combine efforts of the Nigerian
lead Ecomog and (UNAMSIL) United Nations Peacekeepers in
Sierra-Leone overpowered the rebels and thus reduced them to isolated
pockets of resistance thereby allowing for the re-instating of
president Alhaji Ahmed Kabaar. The President then ordered the
execution of my senior brother and Twenty-Three others for trying to
overthrow His Government it is against this background that my family
and I fled Sierra-Leone for fear of our lives and is currently.
Staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum.
Meanwhile, I have decided to transfer the money to a more reliable
foreign account. As the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee
(asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any
financial transaction through out Her territorial zone. Hence I am
saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account
where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my
Government back home that are bent on taking everything we have got.
The Government of Ghana seems to be playing along with them.

I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of
Ghana for fear of going through the same experience in future, since
both countries have similar political history. As a businessman, I am
seeking a partner whom I have to entrust my future and that of my
family in his hands. I must let you know that this transaction is
risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I will like
you to do for me is to make an arrangement with the security/courier
company to clear the consignment/funds from their affiliate office
here in The Netherlands as I have already gave directives for the
consignment/funds to be brought to The Netherlands from South
African. But before then all modality will have to be put in place
like change of ownership of the consignment/funds and more
importantly this funds I intend to use for investment.

I have two opinions for you. Firstly, you can choose to have certain
percentage of the funds for nominating your account for this
transaction. Or we can go into partner for proper wise investment of
the funds in your country. Which ever the option you want, feel free
to notify me. I have already mapped out 5% of this fund for all kinds
of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If other
wise, I am willing to give you 10% of the funds while the remaining
85% will be used for my investment in your country. Please, contact
me with the above email address, while I implore you to maintain
absolute secrecy required in this transaction.

Thanks and God bless.

Yours faithfully,

Albert King (Jr).
