Its not. These mails go out all the time, this one just slipped through your spam filter.

And if you are concerned about your password, change it on Facebook's website.

If that was the case then we all would get them.

Open the Zip file and install everything in it..
You have actually won the ugandan lottery and this is the only way to claim your winnings.

I wouldn't advise it. If someone wants to have a look at it then they can pm you and sort it out from there.

Call the internet police OP, I'm sure they'll be all over this!

i'm no expert, but a full virus/registry scan, or at worst, new windows install mightn't go amiss if it continues.

IT forum ? they helped me with machine problems in the past.

You know i can still remember the very first unsolicited emails given to me by my forums spammer. They were virus loaded zip files and i was on telnet.

I had a great trouble opening that shiny orange file, but then...well I will never forget that first extraction. Sweet and uncommonly good. I remember feeling "i must be someone very special" when this mytery emailer gave me his attachment file.

Well now it's web2.0, im the expert spammer and what else would i give my little newbies but zipped up spyware and virus's, after all they're someone very special too you know.
