Ugh

Makes me wonder why I give my email address to bands:

Hey it is tara and john the directors of MSN, sorry for the interruption but
msn is closing down. this is because too many inconsiderate people are
taking up all the name (eg making up lots of different accounts for just one
person), we only have 578 names left. If you would like to close your
account, DO NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE ON. If you would like to keep your
account, then SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. This is no
joke, we will be shutting down the servers. Send it on, thanks. WHO EVER
DOES NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE CLOSED AND YOU WILL COST
10.00 A MONTH TO USE. SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. NOW YOU
KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD THIS or REPLAY. COPY THE WHOLE EMAIL.
GO BACK TO YOUR INBOX AND CLICK ON NEW. AND PASTE THANK YOU FOR YOUR
ATTENTION. It's no joke if you don't believe me then go to the site
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1189119.stm ) and see for yourself.
Anyways once you've sent this message to at least 18 contacts, your msn dude
will become blue lol


Where do you start? hahaha

Wow. I can't help but wonder who the guy that wrote that e-mail was.

 

[Machinated]

You mean it wasn't Tara and John?! hahahaha

 

[AStacy2]

I'm guessing no...

jokes, just jokes, it's old news that msn could be no more free.
I mean have you ever wondered how myspace can keep up with all the accounts they have
I think Micorsoft has the money to buy web server space.
Just ignore that message

I love crap like that. uke:

I just got one saying I will get $10k for ever person I pass the letter on to. Needless to say I don't have a tattoo of the word cunt on my forehead so I erased it.

go to that website and have a look at the date the article was posted..7 years ago.

i know things dont happen fast in the internet-industry, but 7 years, jesus...

I just love how its meant to be a serious message, but some of the claims are so ridiculous I don't know where to start. And the fact it says lol in it. Seen loads of these before, but this has definitely got to be the worst I have seen.

It's unbelievable the stuff people would say to make "chain mails"...
I got one from a guy saying that his newborn baby was sick and he needed a lot of money to cure it and he made a deal with AOL to pay him each time you forwarded his mail to one of your contacts...
Or another that said that there have been several incidents in movie theaters where some person leaves a needle infected with HIV virus on a seat along with a note informing the person who just sat in the seat that he now has AIDS... The mail was urging people to forward the mail to all your friends to warn them.

I'm still not sure to this what's the use of chain mails...
