I received a nice email from the CIA today.
Wow the government agent signed it "Yours faithfully". Now there is a tipoff this email is fake. Not to mention the fact my antivirus blocked the email attachment with the message: "Virus identified I-Worm/Sober.CF".
These emails started going out a couple days ago. Although all the reports I've read so far say the email is from the FBI.
All right class repeat after me:
Yours faithfully,

All right class repeat after me:
- "I keep my antivirus updated"
- "the FBI, CIA, ATF, Ebay, Microsoft, Interpol, and my bank do not send Dear Sir/Madam emails"
- "I keep my antivirus updated"
- "I will not open attachments from unknown sources"
- "I keep my antivirus updated"
Yours faithfully,

Not only should I expect the CIA to know if I am a sir OR a madam, the e-mail was addressed to someone OTHER than me! So, how the hell could MY name be showing up, if they didn't know my name to SEND me the message.
As you say,
I will keep my anti-virus updated,
I will keep my anti-virus updated,
I will keep my anti-virus updated!
Avast!
