One important thing to remember when forwarding or replying to
an email that has been sent to multiple recipients: Be considerate
of the next person who will be receiving your mail.
Sympathy Chain Letters - No kids need your email
as last wish or to save their lives. If ever, the person whom
you are supposed to send your email to is actually a victim of
some well-calculated prank. Please take note of this because many
have fallen for this. This is also the most harmful of all hoaxes.
Virus Scares - If you get an email warning you
of a particular virus that's coming (that will change your registry
upon reading the mail), junk it. You can't get a virus just by
reading an e-mail. But never carelessly open any attachments.
Be careful especially of Microsoft documents or excel files, they
have been known to transmit macro virus.
AIDS - If somebody tells you that somebody injected
an HIV on an unsuspecting moviehouse buff, trash it.
Secret Recipes - You will never get the secret
recipe for a corporate giant's product.
Satanist Companies - Proctor & Gamble is not
run by the Church of Satan. There was no racism confession on
Opra. Anti-Perspirant is not a known cause of cancer. Your pet
is safe when Febreeze used as directed.
Product Giveaways - Don't forward Email, Microsoft,
Disney The GAP, VIctoria's Secret etc, are not giving away stuff
for free.
