Permalink   

I checked this out with Snopes myself - and it apparently is real! You know I don't send these on unless I think it valid (very few are). I also removed a long list of e-addresses and am sending it along. - Sallie

 

RED Alert - SNOPES VERIFIED! DO NOT OPEN under any circumstances!!!

 

VERY VERY URGENT !!!

 

THERE IS AN EMAIL WITH SUBJECT LINE OBAMA ACCEPTANCE SPEECH FLOATING AROUND WITH A TROJAN HORSE ATTACHMENT.  DO NOT OPEN FOR ANY REASON!!! 
DELETE IMMEDIATELY.   ; ; ;THE TROJAN STEALS ALL PASSWORDS AND USER IDS!!! 
SPREAD THE WORD TO EVERYONE ON YOUR EMAIL LIST.

I couldn't guess why she didn't post it because she checked-it-out, but sometimes people send me stuff.  Knowing that I will check it and let them know if it is a valid concern.

Ya, and they are mostly women! biggrin

Ok fellas...thats enough!

Actually I am big on snopes too. My mom sends me stuff all the time. I have even bookmarked it for her so she can look stuff up for herself, but she rarely does. Oh well.
