this such fake email has been investigated now by FBI according to this news: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/computersecurity/wormsviruses/2005-02-23-fbi-virus-warning_x.htm
I got virus from that one. hmph. at least its cleaned within 2 hours.
I am wondering who decided wheter an email site is illegal or not.
Is fake email illegal itself?
