I recall a virus hoax I got while working for MSN. Apparently, sulfnbx.exe (or something like that) was a virus, and should be deleted IMMEDIATELY! Well, I guess a customer got the email and deleted the file, and then complained that their computer didn't work. When I told her that she had fallen for a virus hoax, she blamed... wait for it... me.
She hadn't called me until AFTER she had deleted it, but she claimed that it was MY responsibility (MINE, not MSN's, or Bill Gates, who usually gets the blame) to email everyone in the @msn.com domain and tell them it was a hoax.
"I DEMAND TO SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER!!!"
"... hokay."
My supervisor was a man named Mustafa El-Gindy, or "Moose" for short. Moose didn't take no shit.
And I got a half hour break while he dealt with the woman. Wheebong.
