Yes, I did. I was on the telephone with Verizon for and hour and a half last night. This was the 2nd time it has happened to me. The best way to mitigate this is to use AntiVirus software and have it preScan and quarantine e-mails. The attachment is a virus!

The first time this happened it was from [email protected] and the 2nd time (last nite) it was [email protected] (with Locker Room in the subject line).

What ever you do CHANGE YOUR E-MAIL PASSWORD because this e-mail has a virus that (I believe) finds out your password. I'm not 100% sure how this works but my wife and kids were in Disney World on playoff weekend and I was on the football field. During that time while no one was home someone apparently sent 000's of e-mails in my name and my account was suspended. So, if you happen to click the message just take a precaution and change your password.

If you're a Verizon user (and happen to open the message) forward it to [email protected] and [email protected]. And, change your password immediately after doing so.

Hackers suck!
