I was checking my brothers email (I thought it was mine, I guess he never signed out) and I saw an email titled “Hey.. youre mailing a virus” by someone who called themselves Cecil. The message reads:
Excuse me…,
You have been sending me this virus for a long time.. and it comes
almost every day. Im kinda getting tired of it.. and if you do not have
your computer fixed soon, your ISP (Internet Service Providor) will
be contacted and your service will be shut off until you call them out
to fix your problem.If you want to avoid this, I suggest you install this patch that will clean
your system of this virus. It has been attached as a file.Simply download and run the file, it will auto-clean for you without
any complications.Accordingly,
CecilOk, I know I am not “sending someone a virus”, I do not know this person, so I’m pretty sure it’s not legit. Also, I looked up above the message for the “update” and it said, “Hotmail has permanently blocked the following potentially unsafe attachment(s): update.exe (0.10 MB) More Info…”. What do y’all (I’m Texan, sorry) suggest I do?
Oh, by the way, the email address that sent me this message is [email protected] . Thanks guys.

I don’t know if reporting it to Mailinator.com will do any good.
