                      “Break out them scisors, Martha … ”
                                        
Via Spring [1] comes your harddrive! [2] 

Well, only if you are using Microsoft IE (Internet Explorer). It doesn't seem
to work under Netscape or Mozilla. 

But really, it's an old old scam. Heck, I did something similar years ago at
FAU (Florida Atlantic University) [3] when I started playing around with the
web. If you're a Windows user, here's a copy of your machine's configuration.
[4] For you Unix people, how about I snag your password file [5]. Sorry Mac
people, I don't have access to a Mac to know where to grab vital system
information so for now you're safe. 

At least from me. 

Actually, I don't have copies of your files. Those are your copies. Honest.
It's just that I instructed your browser to pull up the file from your
computer. I don't have a copy. 

Now, this came about because of the scare tactics that Evidence Eliminator
[6] are using to drum up sales from gullible people (“gullible,” by the way,
doesn't appear in the dictionary). 

Ha ha. 

Sorry about that. 

Anyway, they have a page, http://www.evidence-eliminator.com/go.shtml [7],
which they use to scare gullible people with. Reload it a few times. It is
rather amusing. And the information they have on you is information that any
site has on you. I have on you. [8] 

Better break out those scissors and cut the network connection. 

Sheesh.
