Yes, I've received a heap of these in the last month. I can't believe anyone is silly enough to fall for one of these, but they must or why would they bother!

WRT viruses - nearly every second day I seem to get some mail with a suspect attachment - each time I see them I wonder how all the MS OUtlook users survive and make a big sigh of relief as I only use Linux and never operate as root, so viruses are not really a problem.
