For your information




Hi All, this has been checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus!
and it is for real!!
Get this E-mail message sent around to your contacts ASAP.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS!
You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message
with an attachment entitled 'POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK,' regardless of who sent
it to you. It is a virus which opens A POSTCARD IMAGE, 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. This is the reason
why you need to 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' POSTCARD,' even though sent to you by a
friend, do not open it! 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 yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This
virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital
information is kept.


COPY THIS E-MAIL, AND SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS. REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT
TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US



Stephie

xxxxx

CURRENT POSTAL SCAM
Information received from Kent Police:
â?oCan you circulate this around especially as Christmas is fast
approaching â?" it has been confirmed by Royal Mail. The Trading
Standards Office are making people aware of the following scam: A card is
posted through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery
Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you
need to contact them on 0906 6611911 (a premium rate number). DO NOT
call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize. If you
call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already
have been billed £15 for the phone call. Please advise family
members/friends.â?
