Yes, me thinks so as well: - name of organisation and email address don't match - two seperate entities - the urban myth usually starts with "Important - not a joke"Nonetheless it is still a good wake up call for personal security!Trent. The name of that dude probably is bodgy(I removed it), but the whole email makes good sense to me and I've showed it to my girlfriend who will now be aware in case anything suspicious arises. I wouldn't say it's an urban myth, as I bet its happened many times. I think the story about the speedcamera van getting booked 40 times(or was it 100>) is an urban myth. Theres a difference.Safe and Happy drivingRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, pass this on to five friends within one hour and you will receive good luck for the next week. Truly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I forward it to twenty people then doesn't something funny pop up on my screen, or nokia/microsoft send me $100 for my troubles???Trent.

saleen Big Gun Donating Members 4,170 Member For: 22y 4m 13d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 30/05/04 11:52 AM Author Share Posted 30/05/04 11:52 AM WTF does it being a chain letter have to do with the topic? Who gives a rats if you believe it or not? Anybody that's been attacked or had a friend attacked would understand these sorts of things can happen. By raising your families/friends awareness on personal safety could make a hell fo a difference. Instead of sitting there behind your computer screen being sceptical about something just because it 'sounds like a scam' why don't yas actually do something pro-active in your lives other than make out like you're some brainiac that 'can't be fooled.' If you don't believe it, fine. Don't mention it to your mother, daughter or wife before she does her late night shopping. When something like this happens to her, you can share the story with us all on the forums. I'm sure it will make a rivetting story. Was just trying to do some good for the forums. Obviously crapping on about irrelevant ADR's is more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
