Warning message variants
Warnings acquire authority easily. A cousin becomes a manager, then a security office, then "a police department" with no city attached. I keep those changes because they show how the message tries to become sturdier.
| Family | Subject drift | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FA-001 | PLEASE READ -> IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING -> READ THIS NOW!!!! | Authority line and recipient request appear later. |
| FA-004 | virus note -> FWD: VIRUS WARNING -> URGENT COMPUTER WARNING | Technical terms multiply, but the action requested stays "forward this." |
| FA-008 | phone scam -> FW: phone scam -> RE: FW: phone scam | Reply markers make the warning look discussed even when no reply text remains. |
I do not rate whether a warning was true here. I note what changed between copies.
