Virus from Davis Tony

Post by Tommy Mc »

To date, I have recieved 2 bogus emails from a 'Davis Tony,' one of which had an attachment called 'vab.bmp.exe' I did not open it of course, but used Yahoo's virus scan, and found that it contained the BugBear virus.
So, the name of the sender is similar to Tony Davis, a forum member, and stranger yet is that his email is darkrag@yahoo.com. The bogus emails I recieved were from darkrag@hotmail.com and darkrag@primus.au.
When I tried to reply to those addresses, they were bounced back by Daemon.
I've sent an email to Tony, but until this is straightened out, I would urge all forumites to be cautious.

Sorry guys...dont know whats going on...my only accounts are with Yahoo....I have E-mailed all my address book and warned them......I recieved them too. One clue is that they are both 97K....If I have reason to Email anyone on the forum...I will make sure they know its for real in the subject box or something.
Thanks guys
