Here is the low down on this hoax
"Join The Crew" E-mail Hoax
This is NOT an actual virus.
Below is a copy of the actual text which was
passed around.
Take note !
Someone got an e-mail, titled as JOIN THE CREW and it
has erased his hard
drive. Please do not open up any mail that has this
title. This is a new e-mail
virus and not a lot of people know about it, just let
everyone know, so they
won't be a victim.
Please e-mail this to everyone you know!!!
Remember the title : JOIN THE CREW - Make sure you do
not "JOIN THE
CREW" that have lost there entire HD
Please ignore and delete this message.
This is a hoax because viruses are not carried in
e-mail messages. Viruses must
be transmitted as an attachment to a message.
By receiving the message you are not in any danger.
Every attachment should
always be saved and scanned before executing.
Delete any "JOIN THE CREW" e-mail message and DO NOT
forward it to
anyone. You will only propagate the hoax.
