Help in an emergency

[warcop]

Hi all, this has been checked out and is genuine. Seems like a good idea to me.

 

 

I have received this e-mail and have forwarded it on as requested. It may

be useful to some of you.

Following the disaster in London

East Anglian Ambulance Service have launched a national "In case of

Emergency ( ICE) " campaign with the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston and in association with Vodafone's annual life savers

award. The idea is that you store the word " I C E " in your mobile

phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you

would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency".

In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be

able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact

them. It's so simple that everyone can do it. Please do. Please will you also forward this to everybody in your address book, it won't

take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this. It really

could save your life.

For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc

The ICE campaign thing is genuine. Go here http://www.eastanglianambulance.com/conten...ewsID=646104183

 

The "forward this to everybody in your address book" bit is malicious - it clogs up emails systems / the Internet. The campaign has never used email as a promotion tool.

He's a quote from our companies IT manager, may not be relevant, but be aware

 

 

Probably one to be more aware of for your home PC's as we have two layers of protection covering this one but be aware of it nontheless and let your mind boggle at the mentality of these people.

 

A virus is going round with the following details..

Needless to say the file contains a trojan which will make your computer act as an email relay.
