Mario Mario Mario. This is an old one. Check Snopes.com. Yes there was a virus attached to the original emails but it was a minor virus that was easily detected and quarantined. If you have basic virus protection, it is caught…

Thanks for sharing, Mario.

These should be considered rather obvious SPAM emails.

Please just delete them and do not pass them on to anyone else.

Perhaps…but not all of them.

For instance, the daughter of an African Prime Minister has arranged for a large sum of money to be deposited into my bank account. I just gave her the necessary information, yesterday, and by this afternoon…I will be officially retired.

Good for you James.

Maybe you can ask for a refund from the other association since you won’t be needing their services.

LOL.

I plan to contribute more than I take, Mike. The value of associations such as ASHI, NAHI and (to some degree) NACHI comes from what the members put into it. Not the discounts at Office Max.:wink:

It can’t be that old Stephen! I just received it!

Must be that Canadian internet… Takes a while for the information to get translated with all those extra letters you guys use…:wink:

Eh? :mrgreen:

Too funny!!:smiley:
