Bismillah wa Salaatu wa Salaamu 'ala Rasoolillah:


Today I received the following e-mail, purportedly from "admin@fbi.gov."

Dear Sir/Madam,

we have logged your IP-address on more than 40 illegal Websites.

Important: Please answer our questions!
The list of questions are attached.

Yours faithfully,
M. John Stellford

++-++ Federal Bureau of Investigation -FBI-
++-++ 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Room 2130
++-++ Washington, DC 20535
++-++ (202) 324-3000


A quick scan revealed that the attachment was in reality the W32.Sober virus. Had I attempted to view the "list of questions" (and had I been running a Windows system), my computer would have been infected with this virus.

about the virus:

In addition, a visit to the real FBI website found the page linked to below.

Be careful out there.
