It's probably just spam, but this looks weird...

My girlfriend got this email last night:

WTF is it?

I Googled a few things (gotta love Google ) and got some results:

The weirdest thing is that it's an American government thing, and we're from the UK.

Lmao.

I'm from Philippines, but I still experienced something like that. Its when I'm using Yahoo Messenger and I tried to capture my Friends IP through netstat, I noticed a weird Ip in the netstat list and when I tried it in my browser it leads me to the blablabla.gov website or something; it has a big white house in the homepage. I think thats normal.

did you check the full headers of the message?

email is trivial to forge, shoot I could have done one in th time it took to write this out.

Just my 2¢, netstat rules!

Reminds me of the time I spoofed emails from the FBI to friends in my class back several years ago. Freaked them out. But they were not true h4x0rs so it was all pretty easy and hence lame.
