Don't know if it's a wind-up, but in the caring-sharing spirit which is so typical of SE London, I thought I'd pass the message on.

Subject: READ IMMEDIATELY AND PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!

If you, and other people, bothered to check to see if these things were fakes before publishing, a bit of public humiliation would be avoided. But then again some of us find public humiliation very amusing, viz X Factor, Dragons Den etc.
