You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset.

I've had several similar emails from different 'organisations', all with zip files. If you search on Google for the sender's email address, they all link to a site called projecthoneypot.org. I haven't risked opening any zip files or even risked looking at this honeypot website!0

Further to last message I see that Project Honeypot maybe an anti spam site that is automatically picking-up these fraudulent emails!0
