Anybody received this e mail yet?



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 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 Ga tes 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 t wo weeks, Microsoft will

contact

you for your addres s and then send you a check.

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.

This has gone around in circles for several years now. Is supposedly one of the major scams to attach to cookies for ads and pop ups.

Scam

[know1]

Asking people to forward emails to everyone they know for whatever reason is the poor mans/low-tech version of a computer virus.

Here is the link describing the scam from snopes:

Ha ha I remember the one about Gerber baby food years ago. These scams are silly at best.

This one is so old and thoroughly debunked, I'm surprised it's still circulating.
