Dear Miss XXXXXXX,
You have been a very bad girl the past couple of months. I have been
monitoring your computer and have noticed that you have been trying to
rally people for the cause of destroying Dr. Thames's name as our great
President at our university. We are lucky to have him as our president
you should be ashamed of your behavior. for this you have recieved a
virus. you are welcome!!   If you recieve an e-mail like this one it is a hoax, do not be alarmed. It is just another example of the mentality of Shalby supporters!

Well I tried to make a screen shot of the actual e-mail. I'm new at this so forgive me if this didn't work or you can't read it.


I figured this is of course someone who knows me playing a joke or someone could have gotten my e-mail from the a listserv or something.


Either way, it is ridiculous.  I was just wondering if any one else got a similar e-mail.

That is so ridiculous. I haven't gotten one, even though I'm on a couple of list-serves, and I haven't heard of anyone but you getting one either. Hopefully this was a friend playing a (bad) practical joke on you. I'll keep my ears open just in case more people got that e-mail.

Was there an actual virus attachment? (Yahoo mail indicates virus removal, IIRC.) Probably it's a bad practical joke. But practical jokes probably wouldn't have an actual payload.

Here is what you need to do:


Click on full headers on the top right of that email.  Then forward it to:


tom@lemuria.org


 


I am sure he would like to know that people who are sending email under the auspices of his website are abusing their privilege.


He can tell by the header of the email who sent it and cut them off.


And if Tom is responsible, at least he will know that you are not stupid and are watching him.

First, lemuria.org is a hacker site.

With a little Googling, I've found "nox.lemuria.org" on a list of Cypherpunk anonymous remailers. What this means is that your email was relayed through a system that strips all return addressing off the message, rendering it "anonymous."

Most outfits that run "mixmaster" mail services will cite a few legitimate reasons (e.g., posts to Alcoholics Anonymous mailing lists) as support for providing a service that is used most of the time for intimidation, spamming, or other criminal activity.

tom@lemuria.org probably cannot & will not provide any details about who really sent the message.

If there was actually a virus payload attached to the email, then it would be classified as "terrorism" under the Patriotic Act, IIRC...

Thanks, Invictus.


Disregard my advice above, messy.
