New spam floating around

Just thought I'd give a heads up to my readers (imaginary or otherwise). There is a new spam floating around. What is worrying is that it look pretty authentic (none of the usual typos, grammar mistakes, etc) to the normal person. Well, it isn't.

First of all, Microsoft wouldn't mass email their customers. We have this thing called Windows update that pretty much pings the user. Also, they (or shall I say, "tech journalists") will flood the news channels online (lovely thing this thing called the internets) with news of a ultra critical update.

Secondly, I doubt that they will use your email address in that manner. Plus, if you're like me, you have multiple email address. How can all of them get this spam?

Wheels turning yet?

Now how does the spam look like?

Well here's a screenie courtesy of me:


So yeah, delete the email immediately.
