    I've heard of this going on. I even got a couple of hoax email from my internet provider. I was warned before i got them. below is what my provider DID send me:

    Dear Sunflower Broadband Customer,

    As you may have heard, there are several new computer viruses
    spreading around the Internet. These viruses always forge the
    From: information so that the E-mail appears to be from a
    person who did not actually send the message. They do this
    to make it more difficult for everyone to find the computer
    that is really infected.

    Some of these viruses also attempt to get you to open their
    infected attachments by pretending to be your Internet service
    provider. The virus simply replaces a few key phrases with the
    domain portion of your E-mail address. In your case that would
    be sunflower.com. The message usually says that your E-mail
    account is going to be disabled and is crafted to look like it
    is coming from Sunflower Broadband. There are several variations
    in the wording of the messages but most of them are signed with
    the phrase "The Sunflower.com team http://www.sunflower.com".

    Please note that no legitimate automatic message, system notice,
    or other general E-mail correspondence from Sunflower Broadband
    will ever contain an attachment. We also never refer to ourselves
    as the "Sunflower.com team". Any links we provide in our E-mails
    will be to www.sunflowerbroadband.com and not www.sunflower.com.

    If you do not have Anti-Virus software for your computer we strongly
    suggest purchasing some to protect yourself and your data. Sunflower
    Broadband customers who become infected with viruses may have their
    service suspended until the virus can be cleaned off. We do this to
    help prevent further infections on our network and the Internet as
    a whole.

    Most of our customers use either Norton or McAfee Anti-Virus software.

    These products can be purchased at most businesses where software is
    sold.

    I got one similar from Gibralter.com which was my ISP before Earthlink bought them.
