A friend sent this email to me just now.I know quite a few of you are active on Facebook.Please read the email and stay safe.
==================================================

Just now received this email in my yahoo id and I dont use yahoo to access Facebook :-)).
I hope you guys have not received / clicked on the attachment. The most surprising part however is that this mail came to my yahoo spam folder and the email id mentioned there is NOT my email id.

First, I don't open mails from my spam folder...

Second, I don't open attachment if I don't know or aware of. I learned my lesson..

Please beware.

even if it is from a person known to you,it is always better to email them back and confirm that they indeed had sent this to you....
