Mine Said: Hello! You have received an iTunes Gift Certificate in the amount of $100.00 You can find your certificate code in link below. http://66.71.251.165/itune.rar Then you need to open iTunes. Once you verify your account, $100.00 will be credited to your account, so you can start buying music, games, video right away. Itunes Store.

I was confused because I have no idea why I would be getting a gift certificate without someone telling me and the URL looked weird so I googled it and found this blog. THANKS!!!!!!!

I use Linux & scanned the .exe with ClamTk & it said possible Trojan etc .
So it defineltly pays to have some kind of virus tool even if its a Portable like Clam.
As I was tempted to open it .

Since it was my birthday a couple of days ago, I thought there might be a possibility it was real. but I could not think of anyone who would give me a 50 dollar gift certificate so I checked on google first and found this site.

thanks for the info, I will not open it.

My mother got the same email yesterday and forwarded it to me, saying that she wasn’t sure if it was kosher or not. Thankfully I found this blog and I’ve just told her to delete the email.

I, too, got one today. I scanned it with Trend Micro and it came up clean. I still didn’t open it. What really clued me in was even though I just downloaded iTunes yesterday, this e-mail came to a different e-mail address.

Look at all of our comments… all within the last two days. Amazing.

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!

received 2 this morning. Isn’t there a way they can be stopped? Don’t they have anything better to do than pass out virus’? I also get ones pretending to be ups or dhl with the attachment. So beware of those also.
