Hope ever one had a good Thanksgiving. As a heads up I got an email that
said it was from the FBI and that I had logged in on 30 different illegal
web sites, gave a 202 area code phone number and a name to call. I thought
this must be a hoax and looked the number up by back tracking the number and
sure enough it was a valid FBI number in Washington D.C. I was concerned
now, so called the number and did not get any one to answer so called the
local FBI and asked them about it. She told me it was a scam and not to open
it, but luckily mine did not have any attachment. I had a friend call me to
day and said he read that it contains a bad virus. What ever you do don't
open it.

Will someone at the FBI get mad enough and start pursuing these guys?
Perhaps not.
The information in messages of this kind always checks out - airplane
accidents, names, events and places - but the link would redirect you to
their website from where they download whatever they want.
Phishing (pronounced "fishing") works the same way. They would show your
bank's link but if you right-click and "Copy shortcut" and paste it into
Notepad, you will see the real link where you will be going. It is scary.
Good advice, Jim, don't open stuff you don't know, regardless of how legit
it looks. If someone really wants to convey such serious matters to you,
they can give you a call or send you a letter through snail mail. The USPS
would welcome the additional traffic and you have a paper trail of the
matter

Fake FBI, CIA e-mails contain viruses
The FBI warned Internet users about a scam involving e-mails appearing to come
from the FBI, with a computer virus attached.
"These scam e-mails tell the recipients that their Internet use has been monitored
by the FBI and that they have accessed illegal websites," the law enforcement
agency said in a statement.
"The e-mails then direct recipients to open an attachment and answer questions."
The FBI statement said recipients of this or similar messages "should know that
the FBI does not engage in the practice of sending unsolicited e-mails to the
public in this manner."
The messages appear to be sent from an e-mail address such as mailAfbi.gov, postAfbi.gov,
adminAfbi.gov or a similar address.
The Internet security firm Sophos said similar e-mails may appear to come from
the Central Intelligence Agency, but it noted that both contain a strain of the
Sober virus that has been spreading worldwide.
In a four-hour period Tuesday, the worm "has accounted for over 61 percent of all
viruses reported to Sophos, making it currently the most prevalent virus spreading
across the world."

Nico,
This one had a valid FBI phone number was what got me concerned, I don't
know if this was just a copy cat or what because it did not have the
attachment. When I told the real FBI lady about not getting an answer she
said they had probably shut down answering that number. Thanks for the
information.
While I have you I tried to print the Cont. Motors book and when I went to
file, print, and print view, it would only show the small window that was
the page number. I did not try using the other print because of the number
of pages and I wanted to see that it would print on the page properly.
Any ideas?

Jim,
The site was not developed to print the whole book. However, if you pick an
item from the menu on the left-hand side of the screen (either Home, Pages,
or Copyright), you will be able to navigate the site. The "Pages" option
will open a drop-down box in which you can select any of the 87 pages of the
book; as well as a zoom bar with which you can zoom into the photographs in
the book. If you wish to print the book, I guess you may try to print every
page. Tip: to page through the book faster, keep focus on the drop-down box
and use the up and down arrows to turn the pages.
If you wish to print the whole book, let me know. I can add code to the site
to do that, and add an item in the menu bar on the left-hand side to start
the print process.
Thanks for the feedback, Jim.
Nico
