Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask. I'm a regular lurker but infrequent poster.
I came home this evening to find an email purporting to be from Bob Geldof in my inbox with the subject line "This is crucial".
Now, I'm pretty certain I've never emailed him and I don't know how (or why) on earth Sir Bob would get my email address. Given that I read today that he's urging people to ignore email in the workplace I have to wonder if this is someone with questionable values, using his name to spread nasties.
Has anyone heard of a Bob Geldof virus on the loose? I haven't opened this email yet and quite frankly, I don't think I should.

Bum! It was definitely there when I posted here yesterday. And now I can't find where it moved to.
Oh well - my response wasn't all that great anyway. Just said that I too recieved the message - one of my frequent forwarder mates sent it. He's reliable so I opened it. Computer still works.
Crux of the message was for a mass E-Mail to Peter Mandelson (a particularly slimey UK politician who has somehow emerged from multiple scandals). I'm sure there was a point to the thing - but fankly I didn't believe the message was all that genuine, so I didn't pay all that much attention.
