VIRUS WARNING: Facebook Spam Email

Post by Buzz Bumble »

I just received an email supposedly from Facebook with an attached Zip file. The Zip file contains a program which installs a virus (which luckily can't wok on Macs!). DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY!

The emails says:
Dear user of FaceBook!

Because of the measures taken to provide safety to our clients, your password has been changed.
You can find your new password in attached document.

Thanks.
Your Facebook.
It also has a lot of extra "invisible" text:
God leaves His poor in His vicars care, For He hears the church-bells ring, His ears are buzzing with constant prayer And the hymns His people sing. Can His pity picture the anguish here, Can He see, through a London fog, The man who has worked nigh seventy year To die the death of a dog? No one heeds him, the crowds pass on. Why does he want to live? Take this florin, and get you gone, Go and get drunk,--and forgive! Deep in the jungle vast and dim, That knew not a white mans feet, I smelt the odour of sun-warmed fur, Musky, savage, and sweet. Far it was from the huts of men And the grass where Sambur feed; I threw a stone at a Kadapu tree That bled as a man might bleed. Scent of fur and colour of blood:-- And the long dead instincts rose, I followed the lure of my seasons mate,-- And flew, bare-fanged, at my foes. Pale days: and a league of laws Made by the whims of men. Would I were back with my furry cubs In the dusk of a jungle den.
Which further proves it's a garbage spam email to delete.
