Hi Everybody,
i have been receving a lot of chain emails, asking forward this email to all your friends in your list, the mail itsays by just forwarding the mail to some ppl how can we receive money from microsoft. Some ppl who sent it have a comment along with that, that they earnd some $1000.00. I dont know if to belive that. Also many mails says, some one is not well having a brain tumour, and they dont have money for the operation, so they requested, Microsoft, AOL and NETSCAPE, who said to have a chain mail sent to friends and ask them to send to their friends. And these companies would pay 10cents per person to whom the mail is sent to. My questioN IS DO WE REALLY EARN MONEY BY DOING SO?

One of the most frequent words used on the internet is "scams" and this one sounds like it fits the bill.By tieing up the programs with emails like this,someone has successfully flooded the lines and has slowed down the internet lines while possibly sending viruses world-wide by using people who still believe in getting something for nothing.

Chain emails are Ponzi schemes - they rely on foolish people giving money to scammers. My advice - stay clear.
As for Microsoft and Aol giving money to people who send out emails - why would they do that? These companies are not run by silly people - they tend to only give money to legitimate charities.
