Very Curious :: E-Mail from Yulia@t a t y.ru ::
I actually had a leap in my stomach seeing this in my Yahoo! Mail Account an e-mail from Yulia@t a t y.ru.
But my first thought was, i never e-mailed Yulia@t a t y.ru, i've NEVER tried e-mailing Yulia [i have tried Shapovalov, the Administration of the Russian Website and a secret lady and Lena but NEVER Yulia]. My second thought, before opening was, it's called "Re:Re: My Details." Which made me think, for there to be a "Re:Re:" it means i would have had to reply back to something she would reply to me, and i reply to that." Also the "My Details" is completely out of nowhere. My 3rd is, it has an attachment, and no offense to Yulia, but i doubt she know how to do this. So i open the E-mail to find this very simple statement: Please see the attached file for details. So what do you think? Should i open the Attached File? What if it's a virus?! Is someone using her e-mail to attack me? Input please. |

Nah I wouldn't open it.
Maybe it's some Tatu fan sending viruses :P There is a website where you can fake email addresses and send emails to people pretending you are somebody else. I forgot the URL and just logged in on MSN to see if my friend who has the URL was online, but sadly he wasn't. When I do get the URL, I'll post it. Plus, all those "See attachement for details" and "Re:Re" stuff are probably fake.. |

Curiousity overwhelmed me.
Like the POLL would change anythoughts i had. The attachment was text attachment that stated this: Please see the attached file for details. so.... yeah. hahaha as previously said to CRNI My theory is this :: fantasy :: Yulia, being Computer Iliterate, meant to send me a very informative Attached file, but instead attached the very e-mail she was sending me along with the actual e-mail. Silly girl. :: end fantasy :: |

That would make you a very lucky guy! Perhaps she could improve her email skills before sending attachments. Still, very odd email... hope it's not a virus. curiosity killed the computer. |

thegurgi, I can *almost* gaurentee that is is the W32.sobig.f virus, if infected it could do anything from stealing files, to using your computer as a spam mail server, more about them here here: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ven...obig.f@mm.html

Too right Onewinged.
Don't open it. Most likely someone with that name in their address book is infected. Not neccesarily Julia. |

Never open attachments if you are in any doubt whatsoever about their authenticity.
You wanna screw-up your computer on the off-chance that Julia Volkova sent you an email? C'mon - what are the odds of that?! Just delete it. |

Do they even cure you... or is it just to humour us before we die? |

If you're getting mails with an attachment that has about 100 k it is 100% the worm that is infiltrating pc's right now.
Do not open it - delete it. |

People People! I already checked the attachment. It was less than 1 KB of space! It was a TEXT file! You don't think i'm stupid enough to not run it through a virus tester like MacAffee. YAHOO! does that for you anyway
:: grrr :: why do people tell me things i already know :: just kidding |

hey...I got one from Lena
and it said the same thing -- see the attached file for details, but in actuality, there was no file attached (thank god). If something were attached to it, I still wouldn't have opened it And my hotmail account is scanned by McAffee automatically too. So...I guess you're not the only one getting these weird e-mails. But, in the end, I just deleted it...thinking something screwy happened with someone's address book.
BTW...who would put Lena and Yulia's address in their address book? |
