It still amazes me how some folks will believe almost any message as long as it is in the form of an email.

A couple of years ago I received an email  from a friend who I hadn't heard from in some years. My delight immediately dissipated once I learned that she was only forwarding a message that claimed that it was part of a Microsoft email tracking operation. My friend was promised that she would be paid $15 for each person she forwarded the message to. 

To this day, that incident still remains the high water mark for email gullibility.

But the following message comes close. Not because of its content, but because of its means of delivery. 

Someone was so disturbed by "Warning from Police" about virus-containing blue envelopes that they took the effort to distribute photocopies to friends and strangers alike. One was handed to Ghengis who brought it home to show me: 
 

I CARE ABOUT YOU.

That's why I must pass on this message...

This is Big Brother it its best or worst.  Imagine what they have already seen..... Go to http://sites.netscape.net/spzumalt2/camera1.html and get a 
     picture of yourself right through your monitor.
