I've been getting the sob story from foriegn people who want to deposit money in my account for safety and give me a cut. Have had 3 in the last 2 days. Dont know if they are being sent by people or a virus is doing it. I also have been getting strange emails with various files (virus's attached). Some "appear" to come from the email server as an error. Always got to be aware! Thanks for the info this is a new one I have heard!
