I'm also suspecting that it could be a worm. But the question is... how do we avoid becoming victims? Looking at the addresses in my address book, the last thing(s) I would want to see are emails from certain very respectable people in my address book asking me what *this* is all about.
It can't be a worm, unless you guys want us to think like Windows LUsers. How does a worm get into your web-based address book, like in Yahoo/Gmail, etc?
I've received the same type e-mails from a friend who says she never sent the e-mails at all, yet the e-mail was sent to everyone in her Yahoo address book. After that, I have also received same mail from one of the contacts that were in her address book - see the cycle?
Now, with Yahoo account, that can't be a worm!
