Virus Alert - It's Legit (a friend sent this to me)


Posted: Dec 9, 2009

With Christmas fast approaching, watch out for this virus...be alert.
Please read the following. It applies to FedEx as well.   

The newest virus circulating is the UPS Delivery Failure. You will receive an email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet number. NOTE: The word ‘packet’ is misspelled (paket) on the subject line. It will say that they were not able to deliver a postal package sent to you on such and such a date.  It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached.  DON'T TRY TO PRINT THE INVOICE.  IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS!

Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home. Snopes confirms that it is real:

Cold/virus Causing Vile Breath?Nov 23, 2010
On Saturday night, my boyfriend and I went to a friend's house for a pre-Thanksgiving gathering.  While there, I noticed that his breath was exceptionally rank (I could be standing 3 feet from him and smell it).  After pushing gum several times and him turning it down, I finally had to tell him his breath was terrible.  He chewed gum, but it never really got better. On Sunday, he started not feeling well...like he was coming down with a cold.  Yesterday, he felt worse. ...

German Federal Supreme Court: Measles Is NOT A VirusJan 26, 2017
This is the strangest vaccine story I have ever come across.  Several scientists proved successfully in Germany that measles is NOT caused by a virus.  The case was heard before the German Federal Supreme Court (equivalent of our U.S. SupremeCourt).  The plaintiff was a biologist, and he was awarded monetary damages. Reseachers in the past decades committed a critical mistake:  They used no controls.  As a result, components of regular cells were misidentified as vira ...

My Best FriendDec 27, 2010
I just need to unload some of this now.  My best friend, Jane (whom I have literally know since kindergarten) had a serious bout of depression about two months ago.  She called me one evening telling me she had a meltdown at work.  She told me at that time she was suicidal.  I asked if she had a plan.  She said she did.  That terrified me, and I talked to her that night on the phone urging her to get help.  She did just that.  She is now seeing a therapist ...

I Can't Seem To Let My Friend Help MeDec 10, 2010
I have a wonderful friend who happens to have a husband worth millions.  I live quite far below poverty level.  I'm a single mom and I do make ends meet, bills are paid, child is happy, we truly do have everything we need.  My car is paid for and I easily manage my tiny mortgage.  Here's the thing -- a couple of months ago part of my tooth broke away from the filling and I really need dental care (of course, I have no insurance).  My dear friend insists on ...

Friend Needs HelpApr 04, 2011
I have a friend who is dire need of some kinds of help, and I don't know what to suggest for him. He's a guy in his late 50's, and a few weeks ago he had a terrible bike accident.  It was nighttime, he was in the city, and he hit some kind of a curb or a barrier, and went flying.  He was pretty sure he dislocated his hip, and sprained both wrists.  The problem is that he's currently unemployed, and has no health insurance.  Apparently he was alone when i ...

Friend With OCDMay 24, 2013
Hi all, One of hubby's co-workers has OCD, by her own admission. Hubby and I have come to enjoy her and her husban'd company socially, as they're quite fun, but she drives us all nuts. Her mouth doesn't stop talking, and it's not just normal talking. Everything that happens is a spiral downhill of some sort of tragedy. Her dog was constipated, so he has a tumor in his bowel; her husband had dark circles under his eyes, so he ate too much bacon (?!!). A lot of it (like t ...

we have something called star..a reduction on property tax, (not a lot..but I'm not proud.)there is an income limit..$500,000...and then there is no eligibility! He was granted star twice in 2014( I think that may have been the year)..he said it was a clerical error...pure fantasy! He had to have applied for it, and then the city checks out the application, and then, in this case..he was granted the star credit! He had to show less than $500,000 income!!    ...

BF Best Friend Is A WomanJun 18, 2010
Really I have never felt so insecure about anything like this before.  I'm usually the laid back person.  I was cheated on in my last relationship and I think that changed everything for me.  Anyways, I have been seeing this guy and we are about to move in together on the 22nd actually.  His best friend is a girl.  In fact he has had this friend for so long, even through his ex-wife.  His best friend never liked his ex.  I really have never met this woman ...
