Bustin' Another Crime

Hey, hottchild here: I've spotted another scam goin' on in Whyville! Here it is (if you receive this message do NOT respond!):

    ALL CITIZENS REPORT TO CITY HALL IMMEDIATLY AFTER YOU GET THIS MESSAGE:::::::::::: ONCE YOU GET THERE SAY YOUR PASSWORD OUT LOUD::::::: WE ARE NOT GOING TO HACK YOU WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP YOU SAFE::::::::::: IF YOU GIVE ME YOUR PASS THEN YOU WILL NEVER BE HACKED AGAIN!

OK, let me explain this message:

1. Don't EVER give out your password to people like this.

2.They are going to hack you... see how it says, "You will never be hacked again"? Well, that just means they are gonna change your password and then, hey, they are not gonna give anyone one else your pass and you'll never get in again!

Please PLEASE, I beg you, do NOT give out your password! This is VERY dangerous!

Signing out:

Attention folks! There is yet another scam going through Whyville. You may receive a why-mail such as the following....

    Subject: wanna become a clam millionaire???

    If u want to be a clam millionaire y-mail me back and give me ur pasword ill fill it with. It'll take about a week.

Okay, so use some common sense people! This person comes up to you and asks you to give him your password so he/she can give you millions and millions of clams. Sound reasonable? I don't think so.

Watch out, and if you're spreading this scam or any other, get a life. Do you honestly have the time to do stuff like this? It's just pointless! I mean, Whyville is supposed to be fun, and it isn't with so many people playing at being hackers!

So watch out and never ever (under any conditions) give out your password.

Until next time, this is Giggler01, going to catch my bus or I'm gonna be late!
