Kindly Sinister Coupon Soupcon

Computer savvy son walked into the house and Simmy called out excitedly.
"I think I won an ipad."
"I doubt it," he answered skeptically.
"What? You don't think so either, hey?" Simmy laughed but there was this little bit of but I thought maybe I may have won something bit of hope slowing blurring into the shadows of I really didn't think so either.
"When you have a chance to look at this email, tell me what you think," Simmy was asking a trusted source.
A few minutes later computer savvy son took a look at the ipad email and said, "No, it's spam!"
So... Simmy got right on that email and sent the sender a warning that she probably wouldn't want to send that to anyone else but...
it was too late.
That little, seemingly innocuous, email had already infiltrated Simmys' contact list and was sending itself to some of her contacts... and the nasty little thing would put in the subject line words like... 'Woow; Very Good; Amazing; Incredible; Check This; See This;...
and, it had the capacity to put different words in the subject line for each address it robbed and so it was savvy in a kindly sinister way.
Simmy sent each person, on her contact list, a warning not to open it and then an apology for 'what was not in her control.'
She especially sent an email to the person who inadvertently sent it to her who exclaimed, "I don't even know how that happened. I only use this email for coupons and offers."
"Coupon Soupcon!" Simmy thought.
Then Simmy sent a warning to the pastor who was somehow addressed as a contact person and he said he didn't even know the sender... Oy!
"I said, 'Well, that little email has infiltrated the church email list... somehow,... so you'd better check it out."
So, what is the lesson today?
If you get a ipad... you paid for it, freely.
If you didn't pay for an ipad, and somebody says you won one freely, check the source.
We do tend to get what we pay for.
After running an anitvirus scan on every computer file, there were 0 infected files on Simmys' computer.
"How is that possible?" Simmy asked computer savvy son.
"The virus was in the email," he explained, "not in your computer."
