There is a rash of e-mail hoaxes circulating just now, so I thought it was a good time to send this info to you.
______________________________

VIRUS HOAXES are always popular and the warnings sound REALLY scary!
Check out the facts at SARC - Virus Hoaxes  - http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html
______________________________

PRAYER HOAXES are also popular and receive much attention. Often there is no way to check the truth of the story. But then it never hurts to pray anyway. The harm comes in the form of undue concern and in being duped into passing along a falsehood. Before forwarding these requests, try to verify them if possible.

HONDA "CREDITS" HOAX
This one is a very sincere sounding "testimonial" letter saying you can forward the letter and earn credits toward a new car, BUT here's what you'll see if you go to  Honda Corporate Home Page, the official Honda web site at  http://www.Honda.com/
Click on the "here" link about the "fictitious Honda e-mail rewards program."
Here's what you'll get:
______________________________

To our Internet Customers:
   "Unfortunately, a false chain letter has been
   circulating on the Internet indicating that Honda will
   give away free cars to people who circulate the
   chain letter and accumulate "credits" in an account
   at their local Honda dealer.
   NO SUCH OFFER EXISTS.

   This is a hoax, pure and simple. Chain letters
   haven't changed much over the years, but since the
   advent of the Internet, they've become a bigger
   headache. We sincerely regret any inconvenience
   this may have caused you.

   For more information on Internet hoaxes and chain
   letters, including the Honda car giveaway, just
