Re: Beware Badtrans
Don,
Yes, about two days ago I supposedly got a message from
you, supposedly replying to my message about heating
cables. But the prefix of the email address was "_dec",
rather than "dec" like you have. I did not note the
domain (after the "@"). Of course, the attachment was a
virus, but with running hotmail and Linux, its pretty
hard to hurt me. ;-)
In a way, its good to know that it was an imposter.
I hope you can find out who it is.
Regards, Cliff
