Be careful with Hallmark and Coca Cola as well. I've seen similar worm-infested messages "from" them as well.

Just a word of advice-
maybe the link in this should be taken off or separated so someone don't accidentally click it?
almost every single company is being spoofed like this lately...my junk mail is full of things...
now if only those Kings that write me about $62 million were actually true...put all those together we can solve the national debt
maybe we should forward all of them to the Capitol building???
