Hi FF'ers.
Just received this email, which had a .zip attachment. Had a peek to see what kind of file was zipped, and of course it was a .exe file. I deleted it straight away without opening it.
The email purports to be from www.petrolprices.com, and seems to be a scare story about Bush and Blair in conjunction with the Middle East driving up oil prices. Nasty scam, as it then goes on to say "as can be seen in the attached photo".
Be warned if you get an email like this! Copy of email with headers posted below in case anyone wants to see it.

Dear colleagues and friends
We are circulating an attachment proving the major oil companies are working closely with certain politicians (as can be seen in the attached photo) to keep petrol prices at an all time high.
After a year of rising prices it is the public that are now bearing the cost of the fall out in the Middle East. Do you think this is fair? Bush and Blair can be seen shaking hands with the president of BP and Texaco after a hush hush meeting. The attached article shows that Bush and Blair know that high petrol prices drives Barrel prices up-words and so in turn increases the value of stockpiled oil. This is hiding the costs of the recent and on-going troubles in the Middle East and is a ploy to keep the current Governments confidence rating high in the public eye.
Do not be fooled by figures!
