I did not suspect it was a virus when I first received this kind of message last week. I just wondered why the person who sent the message suddenly kept sending this message about Acai Berry. I know Acai Berry was a fruit claimed to benefit those who want to lose weight since I always kept getting spam emails that had Acai Berry in the subject.
The first thing that came into my mind was maybe this person who sent the message is into affiliate marketing and she is trying to promote this website. I was just lucky coz I did not click on the link. Early this morning, as I signed in my yahoo messenger, I got the same message and it was in the same pattern. The first thing that the person sending the message will do is buzz you then give you a message:
I have been taking Acai Berry now for two months and already lost 34 pounds, it is the same stuff that was on the Oprah show, Mark and Kat lost so much weight too with no diet or excersise. Get it now, its only five bucks a bottle, we are living proof that it works like magic. Get it over at URL here (I eliminated the url coz you guys might also get the virus if you click on it.)
I replied to the person who sent this message and ask her if it's a virus, unfortunately she has not replied to my message... but I have a very strong feeling this is a virus. So for all of you who use yahoo messenger.. be cautious and do not just click and click on any link even if it is your friend who sent that message.
