I did not send this. I believe the group to be suspicious. I do not have malware of any kind on my PC. Inspection of the email headers shows it originates from your servers and has not been tampered. If there has been an access to my account from any IP other than 82.46.31.19, I would like to know about it. I would like the "movies" group investigated.
