OK Sorry
Does anyone actually go here anymore?I did, and found this. Basically it outlines how some famous hoaxes have gone down and how it is getting easier to fool people. There is some pretty interesting reading here but you can also generate your own net-hoaxes.
But this is true (I heard it from someone who works at Microsoft or IBM):
Did you hear the news? Someone I really trust sent this to me. I've confirmed it's true. And boy, is this going to shock the world!
Last week, Mahir of Turkey and a sick 13-year-old boy hooked up in secret and infected your hard disk to form the worst pop group of all time.
This is serious! Soon, this will be more profitable than Old Navy cargo pants!!! And they've decided to share this with everybody with an email address!
Here's what you have to do if you want to save your hard disk. DON'T SEND ANY MONEY!! Just forward this email to a close friend, and include your AOL password and mother's maiden name.
This information will be logged, along with your computer's IP address, using an amazing email tracking program developed by AOL, Microsoft, Disney, and the Freemasons. Forward the email, and by the end of next week, you will have ONE THOUSAND NEW FRIENDS to enjoy. It's that simple!!
And remember!! Ignore anyone who thinks the Grammy Awards are rigged. I swear this is all true!
Here's a list of people who have already become millionaires as a result of this scheme. If you want to be added to the list, forward this email NOW!!
Bill Gates
Steve Jobs
Steve Case
Slobodan Milosevich
John Jacob Jingleheimerschmidt
Britney Spears
John Tesh
Prince Albert of Monaco
So it seems some people and so I should say that my dog, Sadie is doing well and never did actually run away. Thanks for the concern you all had.
