This is one of widely spread AOL hoaxes. The original message looks
like this:
DO NOT OPEN ANY EMAIL FROM [email protected] !!!!!!!!!!
IT LOOKS LIKE A REAL EMAIL!! She?? ALSO HAS A PROFILE!! But it crashes
all your system and will not open AOL unless you type your address and
credit card information!!!!! and u cannot even delete this virus!
The name off the virus is SASSY.SHS
Please send this mail to everyone in your buddy list!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have seen no evidence of existance of this virus and know anyone
who has seen SASSY.SHS file so far. If someone ever gets it please
don't open it and send it to for analysis.
Please ignore this warning and don't pass it on.
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.
