email scam?

Has anyone else got this email yet? If not then you probally will. Anybody know anything about this?

 

 

 

This was on the 9:00 o'clock news the other night so I'm assuming it works

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

good 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. Re st 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 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 wee ks, Microsoft will contact you for your address

and then send you a check..

Its raging crap. Extreme, raging crap.

 

Breaks down pretty simply really. Why would they do this? To get poeple to beta test thing? Why? MS has ALOT of employees, so does AOL, inhouse beta would be cake, then release it to the public with tracking crap built in to keep track of the browser, send status reports, etc. Those would go to some host server that would process them electronically most likely and print some form of status sheet based every so many thousand reports (or whatever).

 

Or just do what MS usually does and release beta edition software and claim its live and complete, only to slowly release updates and fixes for all the crap that was wrong with it. Beta testing the Microsoft way!

 

Its the same retarded scam thats been passed around for years now - Its just formatted a little differently.

It has an excellent purpose:

 

When you forward the email the email address is verified by the sender and you'll start to see that Viagra and Ambien are execllent products that need your immediate attention... several times a day. What if you took them together, would you just wake up with morning wood? :shock:
