Caution: FBI E-mails Are Fakes
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is warning citizens that e-mails purporting to be from the FBI are fakes. The e-mails state that the FBI's "Internet Fraud Complaint Center" has discovered that the recipient is visiting illegal web sites and instructs the recipient to open an attachment to the e-mail. The attachment is a virus. AOL is scanning attachments to your AOL e-mail for known viruses, but you should still be careful with non-AOL mail

 

I'm interested to know which virus is in the attachments...

 

I dont know which one,just got this alert from aol this morning and it didnt say,I'll see if i can find out though.

 

Best method is not to open suspicious e-mails.
