E-Mail Virus Scams

You know, as much as I am trying to avoid posting, The one thing I do hate is Virus Scams.

Here is the one on Happy99, the fact is that most people get scammed and there are a hundred phoney virus scams, maybe a thousand and perhaps ten thousand or even more.

The real problem with these scams is that no one ever checks them out, they spread the rumor first.

I wish all well, but in my experience these warnings about e-mail viruses are not well thought out.

I will add more Hoax Sites below in the next few minutes

You know, instead of falling into the plan of the jerk who propogated this stuff, I would hope you would investigate first prior to calling fire in the theater. This is not meant as an insult, just as a reminder that such a warning puts people on guard. Yet the warning has no basis, it has the same effect as yelling fire but you saw not the fire.
