HA, that was funny but it also made my stomach go all twisty in sympathy. All the stupid things I've said out loud came back to me in one moment. What a nightmare.

I know what you mean, Denise. I was thinking the same thing. I got caught by a really stupid virus warning hoax on the internet that gets you to delete a file from your hard drive. I sent it to everyone in my address book, and luckily someone informed me it was a hoax about 5 minutes later. But still, there were a number of people who deleted the file from their hard drives too. It was one of those systems files from windows, I think. Luckily, it was a file that didn't affect the way your computer runs. Sigh.

Still, I think it would be easy to get caught by internet hoaxers who actually use the logo of the place they're spoofing. I think everyone gets caught by something on the internet once - there's no better way to learn!
