Now here's kind of a strange incident. Yesterday I was checking my email. I saw what was apparently an email sent by a friend of mine. It didn't really say anything, though. There was just a screenshot jpeg that I was apparently supposed to look at. Which I could only do by downloading it.
Said friend hadn't said that he was going to send me anything like this. (Like what? Exactly.) If he did mail me some kind of image he'd almost certainly give me a hint as to what it was, either saying so beforehand or putting something in the body of the email. The clincher was that the email had been sent at 11:30, when he'd be at work. There was just no way.
I deleted it, of course. There have been times before when spambots have poorly imitated people I knew. The "get me to download stuff" part was new, though. They must be getting older and assuming everyone is stupider.
