be careful of sneaky walmart email

[posterboy]

i just got this email from walmart.com. it included an attachment that norton said was free of any viruses, but i'm still not opening it as it sounds too fishy. be careful if you guys get this.

i was like wtf, i would never buy a laptop that expensive and especially a vaio. but the address it came from was literally walmart.com and threw me off.

it's not sneaky if you're too smart to shop at walmart... i mean that literally. i'm pretty sure there's an iq requirement of 105 or below.

I forgot that saving some cash on basic items is a sign of low intelligence. :roll:

Hey, everyone, listen up, your attention if you please
We wanna give you a warning
'Cause I found out this morning
About a dangerous, insidious computer virus
If you should get it, an email with the subject, 'stinky cheese'
Better off protecting your chances
Under no circumstances, should you open it
Or else it will

Translate your documents into Swahili
Make your TV record "Gigli"
Neuter your pets, and give you laundry static cling
Look out!
It's gonna make your computer screen freeze
Look out!
Erase the Easter eggs off your DVDs
Look out!
Erase your hard drive and your backups too
And the hard drive of anyone related to you

Virus alert!
Delete immediately before someone gets hurt!
Forward this message on to everybody

i agree, i give them credit for creativity. but what i don't understand is how they could've routed it from walmart.com, as that domain is owned by walmart, is it not?

From: info@walmart.com

I could send you an email from "walmart.com" right now. Email sender information is easily faked.

We get it, you hate WalMart, and think they're unethical.

I don't agree with some of their practices, but not enough to go out of my way and also pay higher prices somewhere else.

The difference depends on the product.
In either case, declaring people that shop there to be of below average intelligence shows your egocentrism. :thumbsdown:

and not knowing that 100 is average intelligence and 105 is slightly above average shows your ignorance.

actually it depends. on some stuff it is as higher. but on avarage nearly everything is at least a buck cheaper at wal-mart.

now conisder i usually buy at least 60 items (yes we look at the number of items most of the time.) thats at least $60 saved for the stuff i can get at wal-mart.

then its a trip to the meat market and farmers market heh

You assume too much, and you take my words far too literally.

I know how IQ works. And while 100 is the exact median, the average IQ is usually classified as 90-110.

The prinicple I'm arguing here is that you feel somehow better than someone who feels differently about a company than you do.

wrong. 100 = average.

(mental age/chronological age) x 100 = iq

and i DO feel better for not shopping at walmart and helping them knock out smaller businesses and not supporting their workers enough (among many other things). if it means paying a couple bucks extra, big deal. it's not like i'd miss a couple bucks... i'd probably pay that much in gas just to drive out there and back.

If you want to make sure what the e-mail is, drop into Knoppix and open the attachment. That is 100% safe.

You pick silly points to argue.

I told you, I understand how IQ works. I've taken several tests myself. The formula you give comes from the first IQ test around the turn of the 20th century. It is no longer used, as it had several problems.

Are you going to address the fact that you come off as feeling superior in this thread, or am I just wasting my time?
