It has been brought to our attention that emails are going out from Phil's AOL account (PABrooker@aol.com) with "no subject" which he is NOT sending. It appears to be some type of virus.

PLEASE DO NOT OPEN THE LINKS CONTAINED IN THE EMAILS!!!!

Phil will deal with this upon his return from Vegas (Southwest Challenge).

I have received several of these emails from Phil and Kat Sanden. I did open the link and it takes you to a Canadian online pharmacy. I have ran my antivirus software and it detected nothing. I do not know if it just a telemarketing ploy or an actual virus.

I was beginning to feel a little worried because the link takes you to a page on the pharmacy website that sells Viagra and Cialis. I thought someone was trying to tell me something.

These are the opinons of this poster and are not necessarily shared by me or anyone else.

I received the same emails. The email itself is safe but the website that the email sends you to is fake and is listed as a known hacking website. If you opened the website your computer may now be infected.
Make sure your virus software is up to date then run a complete scan.
