Email warning (VERY IMPORTANT!!!!! PLEASE READ!!!)
« on: November 13, 2006, 10:10:56 AM »
I don't know if this is the correct place to post this but don't bash me, this is seriously important. A cute I.T. chick dropped off a memo for me and my other staff and here's what it said:

Dear Users,

Be Alert during the next few days: Don’t open any message with an attached file called “Invitation”, regardless of who sent it. It’s a virus that opens an Olympic Torch that “burns” the whole hard disk of your computer. This virus will come from someone who has your e-mail address.
This is the worst virus announced by CNN, it’s been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. The virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there’s no repair yet for this particular virus. It simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disk, where the vital information is kept.

Also:- Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Ladin hanged are being sent and the moment you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it! This Email is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Isreal. If you get an Email along with the lines “Osama Bin Laden Captured” or “Osama Hanged” don’t open the attachment


Now I don't know if you guys got this warning, but I'm just being considerate. So excercise discretion whilst checking your Emails.

(steups)

That third sentence should be a dead giveaway that this warning's bogus.
But, I can see how it catches people, though. Olympic Torch burning my hard drive, indeed.






Hey...wait a second. What the heck is tha-








OH SHI-
