My apologies if this one has already been discussed. I get so many scam/virus e-mails it's ridiculous, but this was the first I've seen this particular one. It sounded plausible enough because I do get several shots published here and there:

Hello,

Your photograph has reached editing stage as part of an article we are publishing for our July edition of Traders World Monthly. Can you check over the format and get back to us with your approval or any changes?

If the picture is not to your liking then please send a preferred one. We've attached the photo with the article here.

Kind regards,

Jamie Andrews
Editor
TradersWorld


It comes with a small, 10K executable attachment -- small enough that you know it can't include an image and an article, but big enough that it could screw up your computer.

There's more about it here.

That's clever. Especially sent to a photographer. Good thing you didn't open it.
