Did I order a computer and not remember doing so?
I received the email below today iforming me that I ordered the Acer TravelMate 4233WLMi notebook computer. This was news to me, and attached to the email was a ZIP file. I wonder what would have happened if I clicked on the attachment?

Herb,
You don't really wonder!
It's amazing how gullible some people can be.
Besides, if you were really gonna order a computer online, it wouldn't be an Acer, now, would it?

Don't fall for this one. It is spam! Look it up in Google and see how many other blogs got the same message.
I also got this in the email:
