Nigerian Scam ! [Histonet] FW: NEEDS URGENT HELP !!!

[Akemi Allison]

The email you received is a Nigerian Scam.  Someone was able to hack  
into Jerry's computer and get all his contact list!  You happened to  
be one of his contacts.  The same sort of Scam happened to me last  
October.  Fortunately for me, I didn't have any bank account  
information in my computer.  I have a MAC and so I went to the Apple  
Genius Bar and they checked my computer for any viruses.   
Fortunately, it is very difficult to get into a MAC.  This has been  
on the news in Idaho and various other states.  DO NOT RESPOND to any  
emails that want any personal information!!!  You need to clean-up  
your computer from any viruses.
