DD The problem with these emails is that while some of us can laugh them
DD off as the hoaxes/urban myths they are, many people believe then
DD unquestionably and obligingly forward them on to as many people as
DD they can. You can bet a good proportion of those people are complete
DD suckers who will fall for it hook, line and sinker.

DD bogus virus warnings, are downright malicious.

This sort of gullible acceptance happened in local news with the recent
"Mars Hoax" going around. The ditzy blonde weather girlie girl actually
repeated that Mars was going to be the *same size as the full moon*.
