I've actually gotten this email a couple of times. It comes from somebody
called Hahaha [[log in to unmask]] and contains an attachment called
midgets.scr. If you simply open the email, nothing will happen. But if you
download the attachment, then you're inviting trouble.

So if you see it in your mailbox and open the email by accident, don't freak
out. Just don't open the attachment and delete the message.
