sounds like a scam, I wouldn't open it.

The "I wish you would enjoy it" doesn't seem like an NPGMC wording let's wait and C if anyone else gets it..hmmm

U should definately run a virus scan on it if U decide 2 open it ...

oddly enough the return addy differs from the renewal notice i got from npgmc last week.

think i'll save this treat for later

DO NOT OPEN THIS FILE! IT IS PROBABLY A VIRUS!

I have received several emails like this from a "supposed" Bruce Springsteen site and a Southside Johnny site too. Being cautious, I saved the file to a CD-RW and as soon as I did my Norton Anti-Virus logged on to notify me that a virus was found.

If you do insist on opening this file, please do as I did and save it to a removable disc (like a zip disc or a CDRW). This way it will not infect your hard drive and if it is indeed a virus you can simply delete it.

Please be careful!

thank you john.
i won't open it

there is a virus circulating recently that somehow uses familiar addresses..if the attachment is like 136k or something then it's def'ly a virus...

a friend of mine asked me if i knew i sent her a virus, i was like..um..no..and i ran a virus scan on my computer..nothing...then i also received a couple nonsense emails from addresses i recognized...so yeh..it sounds a little shady...

There are also viruses running around that have a 40-43K attachment...look out for these as well...

the same 'person' sent me another file with another 'i hope you will enjoy this' message

then i told it to stop

One of my favorite conspiracy theories is that anti-virus software manufacturers pay people to come up with these bugs.
