lazy industries

Come on people, please. Can we take a step back and think about these before blindly forwarding them to everyone in your address book. You do realise this is a scam. Think about it. What this is saying (if you believe it) is that Microsoft can and do track emails that you send.

1) NO THEY DON’T. If they did, they would be breaking a multitude of laws. No doubt there would be a massive class action suit (assumably including EVERY Windows user in the U.S.) and MS would be put out of business.

2) IF they did, they could read any, I repeat ANY email that you send.

I just wish people didn’t feel the need to be sucked in by these obvious pranks.

PLEEEEEEASE REEEEEAD! IT WAS ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA TODAYSHOW]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 isan attorney.If she says that this will work - It will work. After all, What have you got to lose?

SORRY EVERY BODY.. JUST HAD TO TAKE THE CHANCE!!!

I’m an attorney, And I know the law. This thing is for real. Rest assured AOL and 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 week 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.

NAME WITHELD

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’
