Hint: The FBI doesn't send you an email if they are going to bust you, they send people to your door.

I've gotten a few of them actually. Symantec identifies it as the W32.Sober.K@mm virus. Luckally my ISP filters out most viruses attachments before they reach me, now if only the same could be said for spam...
