LISTSERVs are a treasure trove.  IIRC someone once masquerading as an
IBM-MAIN subscriber sent a Spanish Prisoner message to other subscribers.
Mere human engineering; no attachments necessary.

My email account was hacked while I was on vacation last week.  Generated from 
my email address were two variations of emails with subjects of "Proof of 
Payment" or "Receipt of Payment" each containing an "html" attachment.  If you 
receive either of these emails, please delete without opening the attachment.

Apparently, there are a number of variations of this "hack" being circulated 
with some type of reference to "payment" and/or "invoice"; please be cautious 
with any similar emails that you receive.
