Whatever you do DON"T TRY TO OPEN THAT EMAIL!

That is a bogus email that will install the Storm virus on your computer.

Some punk got ahold of your email address and you are being targeted.

Be Glad your Anti Virus program is working

One way that they may have gotten the address is by your posting it on the web like you just did!

Ok thanks for the quick response.
I use bellsouth.net and they have web mail which is not downoloded on my computer. It stays on their server. I usually delete those items I don't recognize.
Thanks again.

This has been going on for weeks. A new twist on this is an attached pdf.

I just got that same e-mail. I googled
StormWorm@MXLM and not much came up but everything that did was retaining to bellsouth addresses. Could bellsouth or someone at Bellsouth be doing this?


Thanks
