VIRUS WARNING

There's a new virus going around, claiming to be from LiveJournal admins. Do NOT open it. We will never send you emails with programs, zip files, screensavers, etc.

The email reads:
Hello there,

I would like to inform you about important information regarding your
email address. This email address will be expiring.
Please read attachment for details.

---
Best regards, Administrator

This is fake and a virus. Do not open it. Delete it. Say goodbye to it. It is evil. It is not LJ.

I have been getting this same email at my job from our server administrator...which is odd since I am the server administrator!

It wants to eat your children. With tabasco sauce. And call your mother dirty names involving non-consensual activities with an echidna.

There's no way I could possibly fall for that. I have a lifetime contract on my email box, which I intend to make Yahoo pay in full. You see, I got an account through Rocketmail.Com, whose policy was to provide free, lifetime email service, probably in exchange for selling the addresses to companies or some other skullduggery. In any case, they sold out to Yahoo, who are now stuck with me.

I'm sorry... I'm babbling aren't I? :)
