Guest guest Posted October 31, 1999 Report Share Posted October 31, 1999 Actually, this was NOT a hoax. It was for real! But they got so many e-mails shut down their e-mail account. Go to this site: http://urbanlegends.miningco.com/culture/beliefs/urbanlegends/ and scroll down until you reach the Current Net Hoaxes and Rumors sections. This is an *excellent* site and everyone should check it often to see exactly what the newest hoax/rumor is. And there are a ton of sicko's out there who enjoy spreading stories about dying kids, AIDS infected needles in phone booths, killer spiders in toilets at O'Hare Airport, etc., etc. (And we mustn't forget the " free " offers and the e-mail tracking garbage.) Y'all have a Happy Halloween!!!

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Jan, your a women after my own heart, well done. love anita > > From: " Ian & Janet " <ianjanaust@...> > Date: Tue 11/Feb/2003 22:36 GMT > < > > Subject: [ ] HOAX > > Everyone - Someone asked what sort of people sent viruses.....yesterday I received a posting from a friend saying to delete a programming file as info had circulated that it was being attacked by a virus. I ignored it, thank goodness, because me being me rarely does anything on just being told to do so, until I check things out for myself.....anyway this morning, this friend emailed me & 30 of her other friends saying it was all a big hoax on her part and wasnt it funny... most of those deleted an important file as she'd had told them to do....I think she must be reeling at my reaction ??!%%% & & **. God forgive me but I didnt know I had such a vocabulary when I drove around to see her, just about burst a fumerole! > Love Jan > > __________________________________________________________________________ Freeserve AnyTime - Go online whenever you want for just £6.99 a month for your first 3 months, that's HALF PRICE!
