Dear user scoobert@scoobsvill.com,

Your email account was used to send a huge amount of spam during this week.
We suspect that your computer had been compromised and now runs a trojaned proxy server.

Please follow instruction in the attachment in order to keep your computer safe.

Have a nice day,
scoobsvill.com user support team.


I get these all the time, normaly with a virus attacked, fortunatly I have about 3 layers of anti virus running though all the email going to scoobsvill.com email addresses. I just find them funny because I am the "scoobsvill.com user support team." The thing is though, they dont even try to mask the outgoing address, it is normaly some stupid address.

Very funny, you should reply to that.

"Dear scoobsvill support team,

I found your attempt quite humorous as I am the scoobsvill support team. Thank you for the laugh.

What you should do is find out who they are and report them to whoever you can. The fact is our computer teacher said both putting out virsus, hacking and cracking, are all illegal, and I wish all of the above were shot in the eye.

Or, I can ignore them and let them do nothing, people just need to get better virus protection in the first place and these wont happen. They dont harm me, they cant get though my virus protection. My ISP searches all things going inbound in emails and my Email program blocks most file extentions, and then my virus scanner scans incoming and outgoing pop files.

cracking yes, hacking no... otherwise all those people who invented better ways of doing things (and not just with computers) would be criminals too, including (but not limiting to) Alexander Bell, Ford, Morse, Marconi, Babbage, Berners-Lee, Torvalds, Moore, etc.
