strange email

[MTK]

So I get this weird email from my own account last night, what do you guys make of it? I definitely didn't send it to myself. It's weird because I just went to bed around that time, but I wasn't on the computer, I was up reading.

you've had some pretty strange stuff happening with your computer today. I suggest kicking the motherboard a few times, then do a top-rope elbow smah on it. Throw the mouse across the room, and do a pile-driver on your keyboard.

That should fix it

Tried all those...

I'm thinking of maybe a pile driver next, then maybe a leg drop or two.

Maybe it was your alter ego trying to get a message to you, about how it's useless to quit pretending that your a nice guy who runs a redskins message board, and how you should just acknowledge your dark side once and for all. Maybe he's tired of people giving him strange looks because he can't control his personality at times.

Matty only has one ego and it is his evil Warpath ego!

Fuck...

When got to work this morning there was an email I sent to myself. the funny thing was it had a time stamp of 10:30 and it was only 10:00. btw, it had the same subject and message.

Looks like we might have a virus I pray it's not, but to have the identical email?

Damn, you serious?

Maybe this has something to do with losing my sound too.

I'm not saying it's some sort of omen or the work of lucifer, but let's evaluate

remove the 5,8,8,and 7 5+8=13, 8+7=15, 13+15=28, 8-2=6
so once again you have 666

969 (invert the 9s and you have 666)

6+6+6=18
18/6=3

3!!!! the facts don't lie, everything comes back to Question 3

Matty, have you tried just telling your computer you love it. Sometimes it just needs to be reassured. Just hold it for a minute. Let it know you care

That's just hilarious and impressive at the same time. How long did that take to do?

Matty, if you'd spend more time moderating the forums and less time "surfing the pr0n on the interwebs", maybe these things wouldn't happen to your computer.

On a serious note it wouldn't hurt to do a thorough virus and spyware sweep of your system, if you haven't already. Since it's a Gmail account I think it's just someone phishing for valid email addresses - it's a piece of cake to spoof the sender address. But, it never hurts to be sure your system is clean.

Norton Antivirus is good for virus checks, and spyware often takes a software cocktail composed of SpySweeper, SpyBot, AdAware and HijackThis!. Those four used in conjunction with eachother should catch pretty much anything.

On a side note, spyware is getting freakin' insidious these days. The stuff these guys can do and the ways it gets on your system is really just incredible.

Thanks. It actually took no time at all. I think I was possessed while looking at Matty's original post so it all just came to me in an instant

I just got back from The DaVinci Code, maybe it's a bunch of anagrams and clues about the true nature of Bill Parcells, that he is actually the anti-christ! I'm scared, I think I should just go to bed.

These number emails have been going around for the past few days now. It is just spammers running some tests to find active email addresses. It's very easy to spoof email addresses.

Right. If you have an email in a Google account, I most definitely wouldn't think it was a virus. Now if you started getting spoofed emails through Outlook (which viruses can take your address book and more) and you start getting mails, I'd be more wary.
