All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Have you seen this?

"IF SOMEONE NAMED RICHARD PEEL OR ASHLEY MARC JAMES SENDS YOU A FRIEND REQUEST PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT IT, ONE IS A HACKER AND THE OTHER IS A VIRUS THAT KILLS YOUR HARD DRIVE. FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR FRIEND LIST BECAUSE IF ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS ADDS EITHER OF THESE PEOPLE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HACK AND INFECT EVERYONE ON THAT FRIEND LIST"

Snope says nope.

Folks, when you get stuff like this you want to share it. However, if you check it out first you can save your credibility. How much time is lost over these emails? These things don't catch me off guard as much as they use to because more often than not I check them out before I send them out. We should all do that.

Another thing is that somewhere along the way rummers like this get into regular emails. When they do that some forget to BCC to their friends. Some don't think to delete email addresses of where it came from. This way any spammer along the way gets a new list of emails to send unwanted solicitations.

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Watch out! Check it out or toss it out.
