New Chainmail Letter?

Postby Dr. Caelus » Fri Nov 30, 2007 2:01 pm

Anyone gotten this?

YOU NEVER KNOW.

Read carefully...

THIS TOOK TWO PAGES OF THE TUESDAY USA TODAY - IT IS FOR REAL

to all of my friends, I do not usually forward messages, But this is from my friend Pearlas Sandborn and she really is an attorney.


If she says that this will work - It will work. After all,What have you got to lose?


SORRY EVERYBODY.. JUST HAD TO TAKE THE CHANCE!!! I'm an attorney, And I know the law. This thing is for real. Rest assured AOL and &nbs p; Intel will follow through with their promises for fear of facing a multimillion-dollar class action suit similar to the one filed by PepsiCo against General Electric not too long ago.

Dear Friends: Please do not take this for a junk letter.

Bill Gates sharing his fortune. If you ignore this, You will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.

When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it (If you are a Microsoft Windows user) For a two weeks time period.

For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00 For every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, You will be paid $241.00. Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a check.

Regards. Charles S Bailey General Manager Field Operations

1-800-842-2332 Ext. 1085 or 904-1085 or RNX 292-1085


Thought this was a scam myself, But two weeks after receiving this e-mail and forwarding it on. Microsoft contacted me for my address and within days, I received a check for $24, 800.00 . You need to respond before the beta testing is over..... If anyone can afford this, Bill gates is the man.

It's all marketing expense to him. Please forward this to as many people as possible. You are bound to get at least $10, 000.00

We're not going to help them out with their e-mail beta test without getting a little something for our time. My brother's girlfriend got in on this a few months ago. When I went to visit him for the Baylor/UT game, she showed me her check. It was for the sum of $4,324.44 and was stamped 'Paid In Full'.


I was wondering if anyone could confirm the fact that it's a ripoff, and if so, what the catch is?

Harvesting e-mail addresses? Looking for a way to get people to send them their home address?

I'd disregard it out of hand, but the individuals that sent it to me are generally quite savvy regarding this sort of thing.

Pretty sure I got one of those about ten years ago. Just remember that old saying, "if it sounds like a scam, it's probably a scam." Although, you can probably trust Pearlas Sandborn. I mean, she is an attorney.

This is my thinking as well, though I can't figure where the profit is at for the scammer. My guess is it must come later with the payment e-mail.

Also, I scoured the past two weeks of USA Today articles on their website, and found no such thing. :?
