Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 Ray, Thursday evening the list was SPAMed with a blatant sales pitch for a "MSA cure". It was message 26864 and came at 10:30 PM Thursday evening. It is not from a MSA patient as the symptoms sound more like MS than MSA. The time frame is also all wrong for MSA. Unfortunately, there is a lot of trash on the internet. You must decide what is true and false. BUT in general if it has the form of a chain letter - it is FALSE. IF it promises you a cure with a lot of doubletalk at a price (especially if as in this case a cure faster by two weeks for every time you double the price - but no definite exact date) it is FALSE IF you send an email as a reply to an email address and it returns as no such address, it is FALSE Here is a cute site that goes into the "gullibility virus" http://bob.bob.bofh.org/~robm/manual/virus/gullibility.html Take care, Bill Werre ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ray wrote: Bill, What is this message about a cure for MSA? I didn't get it? Does anyone know which state it originated in? Maybe the attorney general should get involved. I haate _ _ _ holes like this don't you? Anyone who would put such a message on the site should be reported to the police, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
