NAME:	AOL Riot 2 hoax
ALIAS:	The Millenium Riot hoax

The hoax message below was spread among numerous AOL users:

 AOL RIOT 2
 THE MILLENIUM RIOT JANUARY 1, 2000

 ATTENTION AOL MEMBER (IF YOU AREN'T AN AOL MEMBER, DELETE THIS
 BECAUSE WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU):

 This message has a tracker code encrypted into it. If you're a
 dumbass and you don't know what that means, that means we can
 see what you do with this message. We know if you delete it. We
 know if you foward it. We know your IP address, user name and we
 can find out your password and credit card number. You must
 foward this letter to 10 AOL members or we will terminate your
 account on January 1, 2000. We are AOL's best and most infamous
 hacker group, known on the internet as JnL. JnL has participated
 in the AOL riot of 1995. We wreaked havoc on the chat rooms and
 the AOL servers. We deleted AOL staff accounts. And we deleted
 over 150 member accounts. We will do it all again on January 1,
 2000. Here's good news for you: If you do what we say and foward
 this message to 10 AOL members, we will not terminate your
 account and we will let you go scott free. Do you think we're
 fucking playing around? If so, wait until January 1, and see if
 you can sign on AOL or not.

 .-=*(THE PLAN)*=-.

 On the night of December 31, while everbody is partying, JnL
 will break into the AOL servers and upload a virus. Everyone
 that hasn't fowarded this message will automatically download
 the virus upon logging on AOL. Do you think you can get by this
 virus by using a virus scanner? Well, this is no ordinary virus.
 You're probably saying, "Oh big deal, a virus will delete my
 hard drive. I'll just backup my files and reinstall them." Well,
 you don't know the half of it. The virus will also install
 incorrect drivers for your monitor. If your a fucking retard and
 you don't know what we're talking about, we'll tell you. Some
 monitors (like Compaq, Gateway, and Phillips Magnavox monitors),
 burn it out and get destroyed if incorrect drivers are installed
 for it. So not only will the virus destroy your hard drive, but
 it will destroy your expensive monitor. So if you know what's
 best for you and your wallet, either foward this message to 10
 AOL members, or stay off AOL.
