Another Hoax

Scotia, CA(Zone 9b)

Just a reminder about those virus alerts we all get from time to time from friends and family. Please do not forward them! Most of the time they are a hoax.

There is a new one going around now about a 9-11 survivor or a WTC survivor. It is a hoax (and in bad taste) be sure to check these things out BEFORE you send them on!

People tend to forget about deleting headers when they forward this nonsense and suddenly your email address is on every mailing list on the planet.

Even if the virus warning were legitimate (not likely but could happen some day) forwarded mail is a big problem in contributing to spam. So PLEASE do not forward things. Copy and past to a clean email before sending things on.

Stepping off the soap box now ...
