Ok, there is a new virius/scam (I'm not sure which) going around. Someone is sending emails from a masked email so it looks like its coming from mailto:support@neopets.com but it isn't. It says something like "Important Details" and has an attachement called "details.zip" DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS!!!!!! It is either a scam or a virius, I am not checking which. NEOPETS WILL NEVER SEND YOU AN ATTACHMENT!!!

I am, and forever will be, The Queer Alpaca

Let this screenshot be a reminder to everyone just how easy it is to fake an e-mail from neopets.
My friend Wayne (Illumination) did this over a year ago:

Why would you want an attachment that's possibly a virus?

Maybe Radiostar has a computer as bad as mine and a virus would probably help it....

Or they might be planning to use it to scam people.

Yes. That's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm just one big scammer. Idiot.

If I *were* a scammer do you think I'd be so stupid as to ask for something in a public forum, in a thread with a warning about the very thing I'm asking for??

I run tech support and parasite forums at http://the-zomb.com and I wanted the attachment to see what it is.

I didn't say you were, I said you might be a scammer. But if calling me a name makes you feel superior than "Go You!".
