Hi all -

Recently there have been some who have received e-mail about the purchasing of an American Airlines ticket.
The first e-mail mentions a booking of a ticket with an attachment. The attachment is a ".zip" and
contains malware in a ".doc.js" file. If extensions are hidden on your system it looks like a ".doc"
file. If you open the file it will infect your computer. What makes this particular e-mail scam even 
worse. Some time later a second e-mail arrives confirming the purchase. This e-mail also contains 
malware in a "zip" file attachment.

Please be cautious.
