Just a heads up because I got two of these e-mails this morning, both to addresses that were likely harvested from the web by spam bots. Both e-mails included links to executable files.

If you or your staff get any similar e-mails in the coming weeks, definitely give them a second lookover and don't assume they are authentic.

Text of e-mail is below with links deleted.

Uh oh, does that mean I shouldn't have given Mr. Haung my bank account information?

Darn, there goes my retirement plan. Should I also ignore the email about my "man meat"?
 
I get these from time to time regarding my PayPal account: "Your Account Has Been Limited...." which is followed by click this link to restore your account.

I don't click on anything sent by email.
 
Here's a goodie I frequently get:

Congratulations. You and your family can purchase comprehensive health insurance from a major carrier for only $187 per month (total for the family).

Copays on office visits and prescriptions with a $2,500 deductible on major medical claims. Preventive benefits included.

(Rates based on 45 year-old male and female and two children)

Whoops. I forgot what state I live in. This is legitimate. Never mind.
