OBL Email Virus: Warning!

Posted on February 9, 2008 by nuke

n2l sends this email virus warning:

INFORM EVERYONE Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it! If you get an email along the lines of ‘Osama Bin Laden Captured’ or ‘Osama Hanged’ don’t open the attachment. This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Israel .. Be considerate & send this warning to whomever you know. PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS: You should be alert during the next days: Do not open any message with an attached file called ‘Invitation’ regardless of who sent it. It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which ‘burns’ the whole hard disc C of your computer. This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list, that is why you should send this e-mail to all your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it. If you receive a mail called ‘invitation’, though sent by a friend, do not open it and shut down your computer immediately. This is the worst virus announced by CNN, it has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. This virus was discovered by McAfee, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Track Zero of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.

    It should be noted that n2l did check with snopes before sending that email alert.

    Another Berkeley.

    A company of Marine Corps Reservists received a cold send-off from downtown Toledo yesterday by order of Mayor Carty Finkbeiner.

    The 200 members of Company A, 1st Battalion, 24th Marines, based in Grand Rapids, Mich., planned to spend their weekend engaged in urban patrol exercises on the streets of downtown as well as inside the mostly vacant Madison Building, 607 Madison Ave.

    Toledo police knew days in advance about their plans for a three-day exercise. Yet somehow the memo never made it to Mayor Finkbeiner, who ordered the Marines out yesterday afternoon just minutes before their buses were to arrive.

    “The mayor asked them to leave because they frighten people,” said Brian Schwartz, the mayor’s spokesman.

    Hey Robert D, check your email, I couldn’t post a letter to Berkeley here, it’s too long, and no link.

    Very Good Letter! Hope more business people like him refuse to do business with Berkeley. If all his contacts follow through, it should be more than noticeable.
