Virus warning

Dear all

Have just received this, and forward it for everyone's attention. Apologies

to anyone who may of already received this

All mobile users:

If you receive a phone call and your mobile phone displays ( ACE ) on the

screen don't answer the call. END THE CALL IMMEDIATELY. If you answer

the call, your phone will be infected by a virus. This virus will erase all

IMEI and IMSI information from both your phone and your SIM card, which

will make your phone unable to connect with the telephone network. You will

have to buy a new phone. This information has been confirmed by both

Motorola and Nokia. There are over 3 Million mobile phones being infected

by this virus in the USA now. You can also check this news on the CNN web

site. PLEASE FORWARD THIS PIECE OF INFORMATION TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.
