beware the iTunes email
if you get an email from iTunes that seems like a gift from someone else, or that thanks you for buying something that you didn't buy, check w/ the person who supposedly sent you the "gift". The file attached to the email is a ZIP file.

You could buy yourself a whole lot of trouble w/ this one....

1. Saw that... it's windows only.
Dunno if it affects XP, but it definitely does Win7.

2. Anything in my inbox from unknown senders is automatically deleted.
Especially with attached zip files. Of course I also don't have iTunes, nor do I want it.

3. well, I recognize both ITunes, and the name of ther person the "gift" was from
the only thing that seemed fishy to me was:

1) it came my email box and it was "to" my boss

2) the file attached was a ZIP file... normally when iTunes sends you a gift card, the link to redeem it is in the body of the email.
