SPAM and possible VIRUS to many MV members purporting to be from TIME reporter

Moms View Message Board: Parenting Discussion: SPAM and possible VIRUS to many MV members purporting to be from TIME reporter
By Ginny~moderator on Monday, July 26, 2004 - 07:02 pm:

I received the following email in my moderator email box, which can only have come from skimming email addresses. I am copying the email below. I urge you to NOT reply to it. I checked the TIME website and they do not list this person as a TIME reporter. I have forwarded the email to TIME. It is possible that a virus is associated with this email, so please do NOT answer it or open any attachments.

From: "Kyle Krevitz" <kyle_krevitz@hotmail.com>
To: I have deleted the email addresses here as many of them are MV members' emails and I don't want to put them on the board without the members' permission.

Dear Reader,

I'm Kyle Krevitz from Time magazine, doing an upcoming article on favorite foods. After talking with several of my fellow reporters I have decided to put conventional methods aside and do an e-mail survey rather than use
other, more traditional methods such as the poll. If those who answer would kindly write a little about why their food is their favorite, they will have a chance to be quoted in Time.

Of course, I'll never get the responses if you just forward this e-mail to all your contacts, you must also add my e-mail kyle_krevitz@hotmail.com)
to your sending list. So in summary you must write your:
1. Favorite food
2. Why you like it
3. Name (or "anonymous" if you prefer to be quoted anonymously)

Your response is appreciated,
Kyle Krevitz
