Welcome to my hoax section if
you encounter a message about a virus please send to [email protected]
or call me on ICQ#22015420
I
do not spread hoaxes! these pages are simply to inform
other users that they are hoaxes. Please to not spread
hoaxes. Hoax warnings are typically scare alerts started
by malicious people - and passed on by innocent users
who think they are helping the community by spreading
the warning.
Do
not forward hoax messages. There have been cases where
e-mail systems have collapsed after dozens of users forwarded
a false alert to everybody in the company. Corporate users
can get rid of the hoax problem by simply setting a strict
company guideline: End users must not forward virus
alarms. Ever. If such message is received, end users could forward it to the IT department
but not to anyone else.
