Thread: Attention Everyone !!!!

I had got this alert by paper, that too, from a very trustable source, from a Central Govt. Company. A neighbour of mine just brought in me a paper with a message from their head Office in Mumbai. It had been sent to all their offices, all over India, today.

Just then I searched to finally find that it was true.

URGENT TWO SUBJECT LINES TO BEWARE OF:

Better safe than sorry. read and heed.

PLEASE 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 Bin Laden Hanged', don't open the attachment.

This email is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Israel.

This was the real message from the Central Head of the office.

I just wanted to give an alert.

Hmmm... Thanks for the alert man!

Will take care...Thanks bro..

Sorry guys. I just found that this was a way old warning. But I wonder why and how this was sent from their Head Office in Mumbai.


Here is the thing I found just now.

Unfortunately, unlike the Trojan it warns about, the email hoax is getting wide distribution, spreading FUD and wasting time and bandwidth. Please do be considerate; DON'T send this warning to anyone you know. It's as bogus as the alleged pictures of Osama are.

I would like to request the mods or Admin to delete this thread if they find this information irrelevant now.

lol......i receives lot such emails.....these are very famous forwards....

Hey buddy!!

You are really going against me. I had already said in my earlier post that this case has died out.

This really shows off what you think, and how you think.
You checked just the first link you got in the Google's Search list, and you didn't even read this thread completely. If you had just gone through this thread (it had only 7 small replies at the time you were replying), you wouldn't ("shouldn't") have replied here. I had asked everybody to kindly settle down and leave this thread, and everybody else had understood that.

This makes it clear that you jump onto conclusions, and blame others, without even making sure that you are right.

In future, please don't just try Google/Yahoo Search. See what the results are, and don't just believe in the first thing that you see.

@cool_techie_tvm

I have no problems with you buddy.


I would like to now ask the Mods or Admin to close this thread.

1.WHERE YOU SEARCHED ? to conclude that it "was true"? in the first place?

2.You want me try the email ( if I receive it !) myself then post the results ?
2a. Or How you concluded, I had not read the link fully ?

As cool_techie_tvm has given the correct reference
I just added more to the list ( now doing the rounds)

3.
The thread MUST remain to dissuade others ,
from posting such scare stories without verification.

4.You should follow your own Advice !
Not needed by me.

You had the facility to delete the message. within 20/30 minutes same day.
At least, two users believed it !
before you retracted your post.

This makes it clear that you jump onto conclusions, and blame others, without even making sure that you are right.

Thanks for the brilliant deduction/analysis and your final judgement.
My apologies to all !

1) Just as I said, I just gave the alert, and went away to look more of it.

2) It's upto you to decide that.

3 & 4 & Your Final Query) I had already said that you had not completely read this thread. Even now, you didn't read it. Just see this:

What do you think the reason for me to ask that was?
Anyone could just understand that I was not able to delete the thread.

I didn't find the 'Edit' button then, maybe because two people had replied, and I believe that they actually accepted my apologies clearly stated.

What 'information' are you now talking about?

If you are talking about this, I had used "maybe". It could have been some other reason, due to which I couldn't delete the thread. I meant that I couldn't delete the thread.

If you are really going back to blaming me for starting this thread, I have nothing more to say to you, and I don't think there is a need for me to explain anything further to you about this.

I would not like to go on, arguing with you, because I never had fights here and would not like to have one here.

cool down guys, cool down, you both are one of the most respected members over here, forget whose fault it was

chalo chalo haath milao

AW.....don't close this thread, somebody please DELETE this thread
