Title: Another Yahoo Hoax
Post by Gator on Feb 17^th, 2005, 3:08pm

I don't know if this has been brought up or not. If it has, I'm sorry for bringing it up again. Last night I got this from my son who was freaking out about Yahoo closing. Here is the message being sent around via Yahoo Messenger:

Quote:

Sorry for the interuption, but Yahoo is closing the system down because too many booters are taking up all the names, we only have 57 names left, if you would like to close your account, don't send this mesage, if you want to keep your account, send this message to everyone on your list. This is no joke, you'll be sorry you didn't send it. Thanks, Director of Yahoo, Tim Buiski, WHOEVER DOESN'T SEND THIS MESSAGE YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DEACTIVATED AND IT WILL COST $10.00 A month to USE IT TO SEND

There is always some jackass starting shit. Why some people choose to believe and pass on these things is beyond me, but I always get this or that warning of impending doom or promise of riches beyond belief from one or more of my family. I guess I need to send Redd's "Thank You" message to all my gullible kin folk.

Before you go running around screaming that the sky is falling, look around for an acorn. Here are a few site that will help:
