A number of people have received messages similar to the following. *If* 
you receive one, delete it immediately. Under no circumstances should 
you open the attachment; this is another one of those scams designed to 
infect your computer with a virus/worm.

You can rest assured that if the FBI wanted to talk to you, members of 
the Australian Federal Police would be seeking you out *in person* - you 
would not be contacted by e-mail.
