The issue isn’t the threat of being hacked its that people believe the false story about what could happen. It isn’t about hacking its about being gullible enough to pass it on.

If only people checked before sending out tripe like this (or posting it on internet forums) as though its real.  Been doing the rounds since 2006. Ten years of gullible idiots!

Well im glad some people are on the ball. 
I guess i need to learn not to be so gullible and perhaps not want to help others as much as i do.....
