[V8] Re: IMPORTANT! Spam/Phishing appearing to be from Audifans

[Michael Larosa Jr]

Dan,

I received an e-mail yesterday, but it was masked to appear as coming
from an admin at my company.

Same format, just change quattro at audifans.com info to admin at sun.com
and it's a perfect match....  

luckily we are all unix here so the attachements don't work anyway :)


I gave up on windows at home....  I use an Ultra60 with staroffice, never
crashes and staroffice does anything I need that ms office can do....
