Make Money Fast Hoax

The Make Money Fast Warning is similar to the Good Times and PENPAL GREETINGS! hoaxes, but appears to be a warning message that is attempting to kill the Make Money Fast e-mail chain letter. While laudable in its intent, the warning has caused as much or more problems than the chain letter it is attempting to kill.

  ******VIRUS ALERT****** ******VIRUS ALERT****** ******VIRUS ALERT******

  There is NEW VIRUS rapidly affecting computers on the internet.  This new
  virus is insidious, in that it transmitted as a USENET message. Usenet is
  the "news group" area on the internet that users can openly discuss and
  exchange information on a wide variety of topics. 

  What makes this virus DOUBLY DANGEROUS, is that it is disguised as a common
  chain letter.  Chain letters have been passed across usenet almost since
  it's beginning.  Lately, a common chain letter subject is MAKE MONEY FAST.

  The Make Money Fast (MMF) chain is read by thousands of people daily. It is
  also known as: "Easy Cash", "Make Cash Fast", "Turn 5$ into $50,000" and
  many others. They are all basically the same scheme, in which the reader
  send $1 to each of the 5 people at the bottom of the list, then moves his
  name onto the list.

  The MMF Virus, as it has been doubed, rides along on these chain letters as
  a "hidden binary attachment".  Since most news reader programs (computer
  programs used to read USENET messages) will automatically decode and store
  binary attachments, there is NO SAFE WAY to protect yourself from infection.

  The virus attackes your system the next time you run your news reader.
  Though the virus is transmitted during a normal usenet session, your NEXT
  usenet session will probably be your last for a while. As a hidden
  attachment, it is automatically activated with your news reader, and very
  quickly destroys your partition table.  Generally, this is not even noticed
  until the next time you try to run ANY program. 

  The next thing the virus does is to place your micro processor into an
  nth-complexity infinate binary loop, quickly destroying it.  This will
  appear at first as a normal "lock-up" but will quickley wipe out the
  delicate circuitry in your system.

  The people that run usenet, at: news.admin.net-abusers are working night
  and day on a cure.  Perhaps some day an automatic process will be able
  to detect the MMF Virus in usenet messages and cancel them, but that is some
  time off.

  At this point, your ONLY hope is to NOT DOWNLOAD ANY MESSAGES that have a
  subject similar to above.  Please, FORWARD this message to ANYONE you know
  that reads usenet news.

  Thank you,

The warning appears to be attempting to kill the following e-mail message that came with the Subject: Make Money Fast, that describes how to start an illegal pyramid scheme on the Internet.

  Hello! I've got some awesome news that I think you need to take two
  minutes to read if you have ever thought "How could I make some
  serious cash in a hurry???" , or been in serious debt,  ready to do
  almost anything to get the money needed to pay off those bill
  collectors. So grab a snack, a warm cup of coffee, or a glass of your
  favorite beverage, get comfortable and listen to this interesting,
  exciting find!
     Let me start by saying that I FINALLY FOUND IT! That's right!.
  found it! And I HATE GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES!! I hate those schemes
  like multi-level marketing, mail-order schemes, envelope stuffing
  scams, 900 number scams... the list goes on forever. I have tried
  every darn get rich quick scheme out there over the past 12 years. I
  somehow got on mailing lists for people looking to make money (more
  like 'desperate stupid people who will try anything for money!').
