this has me a bit worried as this is the second time in less than a year that i have received an email like this. the other was more personal, like they knew me thru somebody else and was sent to one of my alias redirect addys at pacbell. is this some kind of known hoax/scam or what? i trashed the other one after spending some time debating about the ethical thing to do vs. the safe thing to do. this freaks me out - like somthing out of "The Net" or some other movie.From: pius_osa1@hknetmail.com
