Hahaha! You know his remarks are always very 'inviting'. Kekeke! Anyway I know CCD has more static flow charge but I won't go to the extend to say that they attract dust. We need to know how dust enters the camera in the first place. In this respect, each and every DSLR camera (irrespective of CMOS or CCD) is affected.

Two types of dust:

Internal Dust
These are dust generated by the components itself due to extensive usage and the normal wear and tear associated with age. They will generate fine dust shavings and they will stick everywhere.

External Dust
These are dust coming in from outside the camera when we change our lenses, and blowing air directly into the camera. This act would blow more dust into the chamber itself.

These dust could end up anywhere within the camera. It could end up on the sensor (not noticeable until you take a picture), AF flip mirror (noticeable on the viewfinder), viewfinder itself, lens (not noticeable until you go to high F-number, etc), etc. Try to minimize blowing into the camera because it blows more dust into the camera. If it doesn't go away, then it must be behind the screen or something. Try lenspen, if you're having a sensor problem. Or better, send it for a clean up. No need to worry so much.
