From time to time we get emails warning us about scams, viruses and various other things. They invariably urge us to 'tell everyone in your address book". The latest one doing the rounds is about an attachment "Invitation".

I have NEVER found one of these to be true. The best thing to do is ignore them, and tell the person who sent it to you to do the same. If you really want to check the authenticity of it before responding, check out these two sites:

http://www.snopes.com

or http://www.truthorfiction.com

Just use the search facility and copy a key word or phrase from the message to the search box. For example, I just typed "invitation" into the search box to get this:

http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/invitation.asp
