This company is distributing a worm that hijacks your email and sends out messages to everyone in your address book, purporting to be from you.
The email I received states:

Dear friend:
Hello. How are you doing recently? Some days ago, I came across a wonderful electronic company on the web and had a pleasant chat with the sales manager. He told me that they are planning to lower their prices greatly in orde ro adapt to the global economic crisis, so that they can expand their overseas market. I have bouth an iPhone 3GS and a HP laptop, and I am very satisfied with their items and services. If you have time, you can have a look at their web site: buy2009.com
Their email: buy2009@188.com

The punctuation, capitlization and paragraphing was not this clean, I modified it to improve readability.
If they think this is going to increase sales, they need to find out that there is a reason reputable firms pay for advertising, and word of mouth only works if the people talking about the company really did enjoy their experience with them.
I will not ever buy through them and discourage anyone else from using their service.
