Unfortunately I was so PO'd that I trashed the message, but yesterday I got an e-mail message that supposedly infected my system with a virus, and I could get the anti-virus program by sending the shmuck $24.99 to a bank in the Ukraine.
First, a virus can't be spread via e-mail unless it's in an attachment.
Second, if any of you get such a message, it's extortion, and you can contact the FBI or local authorities.
As I said, I dumped the message, but here's the guy's e-mail address (if it's legit).
