Virtual Card For You - Virus Hoax

This is your typical virus hoax and landed in my inbox via a friend last year. It is threatening to destroy "Zero Sector" and as usual it asks that you forward to to your contacts list, sounds scary huh? Well it's not. It's a hoax! Ignore this shit, anything that says forward to your friends, even if it comes from a friend, is likely to be a hoax or chain letter of some description. Just have a good laugh at their gullible nature ; - )

Email will looks like this, although their are variants:


Subject: Virtual Card for You Virus

Just to let you know a new virus was started in New York last night. This virus acts in the following manner: It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the title "A Virtual Card for You". As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened, the computer freezes so that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+del keys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the hard disk.

Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York, according to news broadcast by CNN www.cnn.com This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself. So don't open any mails with subject "A Virtual Card for You". As soon as you get the mail, delete it. Please pass on this mail to all your friends.

Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather receive this 25 times than not at all.


I do like the "This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself" Mouhahahahaha, the voice of athoriti!!!!
