Warning to YAHOO USERs Hoax
November 2002
And, here is a Yahoo version of the Instant Messanger Hoax.
Dear YAHOO User,
Because of the sudden rush of people signing up to YAHOO, it has come to
our attention that we are vastly running out of resources. So, within a
month's time,anyone who does not receive this email with the exact
subject heading,will be deleted off our server. Please forward this
email so that we know you are still using this account.
WARNING WARNING
We want to find out which users are actually using their YAHOO accounts.
So if you are using your account, please pass this e-mail to every YAHOO
user that you can and IF YOU DO NOT PASS this letter to anyone we will
delete your account.
From Mr. ALLEN SMITH YAHOO Admin. Dept.
Our YAHOO system is getting to crowded!! We need you to forward this to
at least 20 people. I know this seems like a large number, but we need
to find out who is really using their account. If you do not send this
to at least 10 YAHOO members, we will delete your account. Sorry for
this inconvenience.
Sincerely, Director of YAHOO Services BOB LOPEZ
Please do this! Some of my friends have already gotten deleted and you
aren't allowed to send it back to the person who sent this email to
you!!
