The sender is "Fruit Place" Subject is Microsoft Word Document with attachment. It says the typical Hi, need your help with the attached document. We have been sent this about 15 times in the last two days and of course do not open it. Everytime I look at my mail I am getting at least three of these documents. I have blocked the sender, but with Earthlink, it goes into deleted and I am still receiving them. I was wondering if any other E-Bay Sellers have gotten this one?

This sounds like the sircam email worm. The sender doesn't know they have this virus/worm. It is sending out the attachment you mentioned, which is actually a file that sender has on their system.
Don't open the file, but you should reply to this sender and point them to Symantec or McAfee with the information that they are spreading an email worm.
My sister had this a month or so back and had no idea. I received an email from her with the same subject line as yours, and the attachment was her resume.

I received this mail about 20 times It takes forever to download the mail and since I blocked the sender, it just goes into deleted. I was thinking of cutting off my e-mail account if it continues.
