[H]ardNews

Be on the Lookout:

I just got a mail that looks to obviously be a virus, but Norton is not picking it up yet.

Hey mate,

I have transferred $1066.52 to your e-gold account through the First USA Bank. The scanned check is attached to the letter. Please, confirm reception of my payment by mail or fax which I have specified in the previous letter.

Sincerely,

John Peart

EastGold co Ltd.

Attached to it is a file named scan_check.jpg.exe. The file name appears to be truncated to hide its exe identity. Anyway, I just saw this in my inbox. As always, be careful out there.
