    I know not related to FerrariChat.com and it is just extracting the domain from my email in the infected email accounts of users, but who else is getting these?

    Dear user rlay,

    It has come to our attention that your Ferrarichat User Profile ( x ) records are out of date. For further details see the attached document.

    I've seen several variations, the best way to tell is I always spell out FerrariChat.com with capital "C" as the virus emails don't know better and say Ferrarichat.com.

    Hard to tell unless you have a scan that finds it. Difficult to trace because those infected are sending out emails, but they don't know it and the "From" address would be *@Ferrarichat.com to look official. As I send out the newsletter I'm in 10,000+ address books. I get about 10 of these emails a day, so not sure if only a couple of those users are infected or more. I'm the one most likely to get them as most people aren't in that many address books. However, just wanted to give you a warning and don't open attachments if from "Ferrarichat.com" and look suspicious. I never send attachments hardly and always capitalize the "C" in Chat. If you have opened one of these attachments, you are probably infected now.

    Some other variations...

    Once you have completed the form in the attached file , your account records will not be interrupted and will continue as normal.
