The subject line was enough to tell me it wasn'eal, but I was curious if the rest was as bad. The spamtrap where I work caught it yesterday.

Two refer to San Clemente Nucklear and one to Barack Obama. On another account one refers to Sizewell B Nucklear. The IP addresses indicate that the senders mostly use ISPs in Poland (one in Ukraine). My own google search led me to blogspot posts which seem to have been placed deliberately to be found in such a search. In all cases the objective seems to be for me to view a video clip, which I have not done. Someone out there seems to be trying harder than usual to get my cooperation. Perhaps he should study English spelling and grammar. I would really like to know how he got my email address.

I've been searching the news to make sure it was a hoax - figured it was as soon as I noticed the misspellings. But JESUS I screamed out loud when that one came through. My family is in Carlsbad. Good looking out. I received it from CNN - scared the crap out of me! I’ve been searching the news to make sure it was a hoax - figured it was as soon as I noticed the misspellings.

I'm glad that the news is getting out there. I suggest, if you can, to Digg this and/or submit to some of the other social sites out there. It did catch me but I clicked through on my iPhone knowing that it "probably" wouldn't get affected. Digg it! Thanks, HTD @Lisa & Andy,

Figured it was a scam but I live inside that 100 mile radius so I wasn't about to just delete and ignore. But no major site was covering it so I stuck with my gut instinct that it was spam. But really alarming spam! Isn't there a law in the US that protects free speech up until the point that it is used to cause a panic? The example I remember is that screaming "FIRE!!" in a crowded movie theater would not be protected speech. Maybe we could sue these spammers???

I received this email this morning and was wary of opening it. I used Google to search for the terms and found several blog posts. The first link I clicked on gave me a McAfee Site adviser warning that the site is associated with phishing. Good to see someone getting some good information out there about this! -Lisa Thanks for posting this warning. I received this email this morning and was wary of opening it.
