Summary: 

[]

About the end of 1984, someone did announce a proof of the
Fermat conjecture (a/k/a Fermat's Last Theorem).  The proof
was to be delivered at the annual meeting of the American Math
Society, but because the speaker was ill this did not happen.
There were things about the announcement that made some
mathematicians feel it was unlikely to be valid.
Since nobody has seen the proof, the question remains
unsettled.

Rumors of a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis have been
circulating, especially in noisy environments like Usenet.
But I have seen no notice in such places as
_Scientific_American, _The_Mathematical_Intelligencer_, or
_The_Notices_of_the_American_Mathematical_Society_.
I really think somebody must have confused the two
conjectures.

Regards,
Chris
