"My last name, Billington, contains a word (Billing) that is reserved by some Internet service providers. When I tried to join some forums, I was barred entry, with no explanation as to why. Tech support didn't know why either, and suggested I had been offensive to members in the forum and had been locked out. While it was getting sorted out, I was embarrassed and angered for weeks."

This Bunny Just Keeps Going...and Going...

"Last year, I received an attachment called 'bunny.exe' from a friend. Because it came from a trusted source and seemed innocuous, I scanned it using an anti-virus program and downloaded it to try it. I couldn't run it, as I didn't have a sound card, so I sent it to our secretary, who did. When she attempted to play it for me, it turned up the volume on her machine to the maximum and announced: 'Hey everybody, I'm watching porno!' Needless to say, my stock is at an all-time low with her!"

:eek:

Death of a Salesman

"A very successful salesman at our networking company had a large e-mail address book filled with his best customers, including some very important and conservative government contacts. With a single click, he accidentally sent a file chock-full of his favorite pornographic cartoons and jokes to everyone on his special customer list. His subject line: 'Special deals for my best customers!' Needless to say, he's cutting deals for another company these days."


Third Time's a Charm

"I received an e-mail from an assistant at a competing consulting firm, CC'd to the firm's entire e-mail address book. What a piece of luck. Now I know who all of their employees, associates, and many of their clients are. Attached was a proposal to one of their clients, so even better: Now I know how much they charge. Several hours later, I received another e-mail from the assistant, again CC'd to everyone, with a revised proposal. The next day, I received a third e-mail from the assistant: 'Please ignore the previous e-mails.'"

That bunny thing circuitlated around our office for a while. It put my headphone on for it. It had a line the e-mail saying something in it about the volume was low and it was hard to hear so turn it up. I knew better (judging from the guy that sent it to me). After I listened to it with the headphones on I heard that same thing from coming from a lot of cubicals.

We had a student that was trying to email his buddy about hacking into a companies website. He also told his friend that he had two teachers passwords and that he had been able to get into the schools server. By mistake he then sent the email to the company he had talked about hacking. They were able to figure out he was one of our students. Boy was he surprised when I called him in the office where two policemen were waiting.

Have you experienced Trout.exe?
This little gem throws up a black box, with:
Deleting:__________, and spools through your files on C drive, while locking out your keyboard.
At the end, it says something like, aren't you glad this is a joke, then give you control of your computer again.
My name was used in vain several times.......
