This morning, I received from a friend, one of these mass mailings, pass on to all you know emails. You know the ones I am speaking of. Iced expressed to me, earlier this year, something that made a great deal of sense to me, in that the originators of these emails, are only trying to gather as many email addresses as they can to spam ppl or play their sick jokes.
Now, within the mass email I received, was described, not to allow any "invites" from anywhere for the next few days, as if one opened it, a virus, that none of the protection services have, shall I say, a vaccine for. In fact, that CNN and many other broadcasters as well, have called this the worst they have ever seen, and have no way of stopping it.
Now, playing on the innocent and naivety of a percentage of our world's population, there is a percentage of ppl, that will automatically believe what is being expressed. If you receive it from a trusted friend, no disrespect meant to any of them, one would tend to believe what they are reading, and of course, pass it on to all of their contacts, in essence, giving the originator or the email, millions of personal addresses to send either their spam, viruses, or sick rushes to.
I made it very clear to my friend, as I have to others that have sent me, these mass emails, to discontinue doing so immediatly, as I do not wish to suffer finacial consequences, nor do I wish, to send to those I respect so much, any possibility of harming their pc.
What will they think of next, to pray upon those of us, that are just trying to enjoy, our international communications experiences? Hmmm.
Your comments are most welcome.
