If it were me, I wouldn't bother. But if you're curious or you've been doing something lately that would attract the attention of a private investigator, it's probably safe to open on your mac: if it's a virus in a rar file, it's fairly certain to have no effect on a mac. |
Thanks ... I might try that if I get time. I don't have a guilty conscience about anything, but I am a private business owner and a new competitor is in the process of opening up in Quebec ... and I'm taking another business to court over a delinquent account they owe me for. If it's a serious e-mail it would pretty much have to relate to one of those two things. On the other hand, if it's a scam I'm curious as to what their angle is ... are they just trying to spread a virus, or are they going to try to extort some money out of me on the chance I have a guilty conscience about something. They only thing I feel guilty about right now is the second helping of pie I had for dessert last night so I wish them luck if that's their angle.
