|  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. |

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

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. Quote:
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. | ||
