    I was totally duped by this one and it also sent itself to everybody in my inbox. I emailed as many people as I could after I figured out that it was not legitimate.

    Does anyone know if this does anything else besides spamming everyone in your inbox?

    I believe it's a virus. It seems really innocent as an email coming from a familiar friend.

    So i texted and emailed everyone I know not to open it.
