I have gotten exactly the same letter from swbell, the geocachingAdmin site
and a few others. It spoofs the return address to make you think that it is
official letter. They are all virus loaded. As mike said, do not open any
attachments.

You will receive an email from someone at whatever.com that says your email account has a problem. Open the attached zip file which, may or may not be password protected, and follow those instructions. Once you open the archived file, it's too late.. You will get a "Salad" of viruses.
Folks, I cannot stress enough, DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS FROM ANYONE UNLESS YOU REQUESTED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Virus scanners will not pick up password protected archive files.
I have gotten them from griffweb.com
Here is the text...

It's funny because Griffweb.com is my own domain! If you use Charter or whatever, you will get a similar message.. Today at work we had over 6000 emails in less than an hour with Zip attachments.
Serious stuff folks!
Mike
