Hi all

On 18/09/10 I received an e-mail from a Ronaldo Baccelli, the contents of which look like the attachment, Email1.jpg.
I didn't respond, or click any link, just closed the e-mail and moved on.

Today I received an e-mail from the same guy, copied to a load of people (I'm assuming it's his address book) that reads :

EMAIL TO BE AVOIDED

Dear Friends,


If you receive an email with the SUBJECT: Quiero ser tu amigo en Quepasa.com,. do not open it, for it will collect all your contact list and start broadcasting it with undesirable emails with your name as sender.


Caso receba um email com o Subject Quiero ser tu amigo en Quepasa.com CUIDADO. NAO ABRA TAL EMAIL pois coletará todos os dados de sua lista de contactos e automaticamente começará a enviar emails indesejadios com seu nome como remetente.

Is this a hoax? Does anyone have anymore information on this? Could I be in some way infected (I did not click on any links, just opened the e-mail, read it and closed it again)?

BTW, am using Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail.

Thanks

I would scan your system with Malwarebytes just to be sure. Since I can't understand that language I would assume its a hoax.

Hi johnb35

Thanks for your thoughts.
I suspected that may be the case. I haven't had the PC long and haven't installed malwarebytes on it yet - had it on my old one.
I will download and run a scan.

Thanks
