Microsoft Pays You to Forward emails Scam HOAX

2 years ago
in

This is a both a hoax and a scam. Don’t fall for this nonsense and never forward this message to anyone else. You’ll never get anything out of this nonsense.Instead you help spammers to fill their emails lists (databases).

Example of these scam mails:-

“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.

I 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 withindays, I receive a check for $24,800.00. You need to respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can affoard this, Bill gates is the man.”

Another One

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

Kathy South Alcoa – EHS Maintenance Coordinator, Phone: 765/77 1 – 3547

Pager : 765/420 – 6575

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.
