Here is the link I got it from
http://www.smart-club.com.hk/forum/viewtop...highlight=shell
this was a news from HK and I will also take photos from a shell staytion with a sign saying to swich mobile phones off and will post it up right away to prove itis true.

ABC you right about the "please make sure you immediately send this to everyone you know" but this is only in emails not in forum post. you can not get a virus from any of my post cos I not a hacker like my frends are.

You misunderstand.

Hoax EMAILS are themselves a type of virus (clogging up email servers and bandwidth) - they do not CARRY a virus.

The infrastructure had to be installed, so someone pays for bandwidth even if we're both on a "fixed" (for now) deal.

You simply can't use more than there is and hoaxes are one way of trying to stress the system.
