I checked various sites and turned up nothing. This is a hoax. Now.. viligance against viruses are commendable. But email monitoring is NOT going to help anyone defend against viruses. If you want to protect your computer against viruses, worms, trojans then you need to do: 1- Purchase a reputable antivirus program such as Norton from Symantec (There are about 30 good vendors that do a excellent job with the products) 2- Purchase a firewall, sometimes a combined anti-virus/firewall provides a good defense especially against infections that uses "Back doors" or unauthorized communication to the internet while you are either asleep (computer should be off and disconnected from net) or away. 3- Visit sites such as Homeland Security Internet Center, Internet Storm Center, Symantec, F-Secure and others that provide current information on present activity and how to defend yourself against infection. 4- Look for and visit sites that help fight Hoaxes and other misleading stuff going around on the internet. To know what is "Happening" can help keep you happy from any unnecessary alarms and postings. 5- Keep in mind emails and fake websites are used by "Phishers" in a attempt to trick you or intimidate you into providing confidential information. Such as "Trains.com will terminate your account unless you provide username and password to validate act." such actions can reveal themselves thru bad grammer and unknown senders who you know NOTHING about. 6- Finally, use spyware / malware programs that cleans your computer of infections and avoid disreputable sites and those that seek too much information from you. So. I hope that this helps arm and protect you from future problems regarding email hoaxes that are as old as time itself. I have fallen for a few good ones in my time. Next we would be hearing about anti-bacterial paint or track cleaners and such for our train stuff.
