While this story has a slightly light-hearted approach, April 1st is an internet day to beware of malicious attempts to fool you while pretending to be a light-hearted joke.

Hi CharleyO,
Yes these days a prime time for misnomers that like to fun-engineer you into some nastiness. Do not click, open or download files BUT after scanning or pre-scanning. Be aware and keep your eyes open.
