Please read warning for all
The part about the mobi is factual, not sure about the computer bit
Serious warning about mobiles and emails If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person, saying that, he or she is a company engineer, or telling that they ' rechecking your mobile line, and you have to press # 90 or #09 or any other number. End this call immediately without pressing any numbers. There is a fraud company using a device that once you press 90 or #09 they can access your "SIM " card and make calls at your expense. Forward this message to as many friends as you can, to stop it. VERY IMPORTANT WARNING ALSO Please Be Extremely Careful especially if using internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail and so on. This information arrived this morning from Microsoft and Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who accesses the Internet. You may receive an apparently harmless email with a Power Point presentation "Life is beautiful. pps" . If you receive it DO NOT OPEN THE FILE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, and delete it immediately. If you open this file, a message will appear on your screen saying: "It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful " , subsequently LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC and the person who sent it to you will gain access to your name, e-mail and password. This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the antivirus Software's are not capable of destroying it. The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself "life owner " . PLEASE make A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS/COLLEAGUES and PASS IT ON . |
Don't go into telecoms - both are rollocks

Yet another variation on this hoary old tale. ALWAYS check snopes.com when you get an e-mail like that. I've had three urban legends forwarded to me by Home Office security....

cant we get this stuff taught in schools? the only thing worse than virus emails is stuff from people "passing on" this utter rubbsih.
mug in a lake? "If you open this file, a message will appear on your screen saying: "It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful " my dog would laugh at this and he cant even read and only uses a PC at weekends |
Not seen that b4.......many times.
Do some research before acting on these types of emails.... |
Jeeze can people please STOP BEING SO GULLABLE!!! :rolleyes:
ok, any e-mail with the words 'Forward this message to as many friends as you can, to stop it' is 99.999999% likely to be a HOAX and you are just adding to the problem by forwarding and posting it in every concievable way!!!!! STOP IT! just STOP, Delete it!!!! DO NOT FORWARD IT!!!!! OK!?! Got that? Yes? GOOD! :hjtwofing :D |

Gossy would be looking out for people on here with best intentions and thinking he'd be helping us all...maybe he isn't sad enough to sit with his whole life and head stuck in a PC all day :cuckoo: and is not familiar with these now common hoaxes.... Give the guy a break :mad: |

Give the guy a break :mad: The tone of the responses may seem a little harsh, but when you have said to countless numbers of people before that it is a hoax, check stuff on snopes, people's patience starts to wear a little thin when it appears yet again. Maybe we need a sticky!! |
The tone of the responses may seem a little harsh Agreed a sticky may be a good idea :) |
OK I've edited my reply :D
