These days I have to say, hats off to spammers and other folks at underground. This was one of the few emails that i actually read and got my attention :lol: . Here is how it goes:

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Downloading of Movies, MP3s and Software is illegal and punishable by
law.

We hereby inform you that your computer was scanned under the IP
200.152.188.124 . The
contents of your computer were confiscated as an evidence, and you will
be indicated.
In the next days, you'll get the charge in writing.
In the Reference code: #12586, are all files, that we found on your
computer.

The sender address of this mail was masked, to protect us against mail
bombs.


- You get more detailed information by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation -FBI-
- Department for "Illegal Internet Downloads", Room 7350
- 935 Pennsylvania Avenue
- Washington, DC 20535, USA
- (202) 324-3000

It has an attachent called refcode12586.txt.cmd

Great Job spammers :p

Also, has anybody gotten a similar email like this one:

hello, I am from Denmark and you'll don't believe me,
but a trojan horse in on your pc.
I've scanned the network-ports on the internet. (I know, that's
illegal)
And I have found your pc. Your pc is open on the internet for
everybody!
Because the smss.exe trojan is running on your system.
Check this, open the task manager and try to stop that!
You'll see, you can't stop this trojan.
When you use win98/me you can't see the trojan!!

On my system was this trojan, too!
And I've found a tool to kill that bad thing.
I hope that I've helped you!

Sorry for my bad english!

greets
