La Bible Des Moines (Hoax)

Nov 26, 2003 12:07AM PST

Alias: La Biblia de los Monjes,
The Bible of the Monks
Category: Hoax
Type: Hoax
Published Date: 11/24/2003

CHARACTERISTICS
As well as containing all the standard hoax features, (a warning of a dire 'danger' and an urgent recommendation that the receiver should send it onto all of their friends to minimize the damage that the 'virus' may cause) this e-mail virus hoax warns the user not to open any messages titled "The Bible of the Monks". Computer Associates have received reports of this hoax circulating in both French and Spanish. It appears to be worded in a similar fashion to an earlier widespread hoax, Family Pictures.

The text on this page is part of a hoax and is not a legitimate warning or offer. We present it here to help you identify any hoax messages that you receive. Please note that hoaxes often have several variations in circulation, so you may receive a hoax message that is similar, but not identical to the messages below.
