I hate getting these...

This is supposedly from "Mike" email address: [email protected] Who ever that is!

"To all of my friends who didn't have the chance to see me on the channel 20 news last monday discussing my blog, and financial success story. I am forwarding you the News Article, so you can read the entire story on how I figured out how to become financially independent and wealthy. Article:www...... "

Then it has a link to an article supposedly on Huffington Post. Not even going to click on it, just in case it's a virus.
