FAO msn/hotmail users....

Ive just received this email from someone i havent seen for a while not sure if its actually b@llocks or not here it is....

"Here's a warning to all those who would love not to throw their money out
the window! In summer of 2006, it will be necessary to pay to use MSN and
the e-mail accounts if we don't send this message to at least 18 addresses
from our contact list. It is not a joke and if you do not believe me go on
the
website ( www.msn.com ) and check it out yourself. When you have
successfully sent this message to a minimum of 18 of your contacts, your
msn icon will turn blue. Please copy and paste this message; do not forward
it, because it will not be taken serious. "

What do y'all reckon?Ryan

Junk...

Delete it as with the rest of the 'tracked' email stuff. Id i do forward them on, i make sure i remove all the email addresses from the top of the email. That way if it a marketing scheme for active email addresses then it works.

Oh yea, you can pay for msn now if you like. They do some nice email accounts with serious email size limits.

You imagine in the world how many people use Msn and not Yahoo or other ICQ chat messangers, Msn has a right market out there, and they sell it well via annoying tabs on the messanger pages, and flash adverts across the msn page. Whenever a new msn messanger version if brought out the adverts change, and the tabs change. Guess its every 6 months or something.

You can remove the tabs and adverts from a program from www.mess.be

AOL and Yahoo are already looking into this. They are looking to charge US users 1cent per email if its to be sent immediately and free for it to go during quiet periods (like 1st and 2nd class real mail!) it will happen, whether the email mentioned is actually a scam, I don't know...just thought I'd add my ten penneth!
