Congratulations, you just got a virus

Congratulations, you just got a virus !

That was the subject line of an email I received. This is the first
time anyone ever admitted sending a virus. This is just too weird.
There was a zip file included. I almost wonder if someone was just
screwing with me, but I wasn't going to open the zip file to find out.

I almost felt like thanking them for being honest

This will probably be followed by the email that says "The spyware I
installed on your machine tells me you just opened this message"...
