   Hey richie ,

   Because of the measures taken to provide safety to our clients, your password has been changed.

   Thanks,

   The attached document Is a zip file containing a virus,
   This virus: Trojan-downloader.Win32.Losabel.bsw
   I dont know how it got to my inbox(junk box) because the email address they had sent It to was slightly different than mine.One more thing I never use facebook,once in a bluemoon.I know the majority of you will spot this a mile off but Stay safe and Be careful guys/gals.

   Many thanks, judydog! I, too, have received similar emails from 'Facebook' AND others claiming similar things. It's always good to be reminded -- thanks!

   Thanks, Judydog, for that heads-up. My son and I both have Facebook accounts, so I told him about it. BTW, just wondering - how did you know it was a virus?

   ditto here- in my case, a zip with an exe inside as an attachment, which set off alarms as soon as I scanned it. since I don't deal with facebook/twitter/myspace et al., anything that comes in from a social networking site is pretty much guaranteed to be handled with extra care.

   oh, btw, anyone who thought they were clever using punctuation in their gmail account name- sorry, bob.in.the and bobinthe are equal in google's worldview. one of the lesser reasons I set what used to be my gmail account up as a pure spamtrap and haven't checked it in years.
