I thank you Sir. I wonder if that person who wanted to be on my contact list that I had never heard of (....@hotmail.com) came from the Arillas site that I was looking at about the road damage? Good job I deleted the message then.

Dear Friends,

Please don't panic and Don't create panic either.
If you carefully read the topic on the Arillas website  you will understand that it has nothing to do with the arillas site at all but it's someone's personal experience about his private email account.

However,  The whole thing is a HOAX 
See..http://www.snopes.com/computer/internet/hackermail.asp

and .... http://www.sophos.com/blogs/gc/g/2009/11/18/simon-ashton-hacker-hoax-spreading-email/

The forum Of Arillas and San Stefanos are using the same software therefor they are both as reliable as they can be .

Regards,

Dimitris

Hooray for that.

Thanks Dimitris, I have been away all week, but I would have advised the same.
I always check out if a Hoax as 99% of this type are.
Just Google it!
Someone gets pleasure in making people send loads of emails warning about a person or other.
The reality is that it is very unlikely.

Why write a virus to send to everyone in your mailbox - if you can get the email owner to do it for you!!
( to warn them etc).

The trouble is - if a person stopped you in the street and said do this - you would say get lost -
if someone writes it down - people believe it!! - fact of life I am afraid!!
