I got this months ago, several times. And several times since then. Either MSN spammers have stored my email address, or I have some pretty thick people on my contacts list...

I got the email, but I didn't fall for it. It makes me extremely angry when chain mailing twats do stuff like this to try and make people email forward, digging into people's weakenesses and insecurities.

Frankly, I think that starting chain mail like that should be made a criminal offense. I've had dozens of them threatening my life, my future, my happiness, and several of them have promised that simply forwarding them on gives 10p to a charity per-person it is forwarded too. Exploitive fucks.

I got the exact same email a while back.
My msn account is still free. Nothing has changed, even though I didn't send it on like it said I had to. My account stayed open...
I hate emails like this. Just ignore them; giving them attention is just what they want you to do.

Sooo Atvomat, did you send your bank details to the lost nigerian prince who wants to deposit his millions of dollars into your account for safe keeping? XD

Yeah, I did. Was that bad, I thought Nigerians were trustworthy. Especially a prince.


Anyway, I only slightly believed this at first glance. It wasnt until I finished reading when my common sense kicked in. I was never planning on forwarding the e-mail.

I must've recieved this one a hundred times i swear. The first time, i was pretty convinced and went to check the article. Only to realise its total nonsense.

I can't believe anyone would believe this. I honestly believe that to fall for this you really have to be quite lacking in common sense.

A network as big as MSN expecting its members to pass on information for them, when they could just send an email to everyone with an account...

This would be my dear old (well, not that old) mom. I seriously wish that she'd never discovered the interwebs. Every single lame joke, dumb e-card, rumor that slams a democrat, warning of a stupid scam, or anything else that begs to be forwarded must be sent my way. I've threatened to block her a few times, which has cut down the chain mail a tiny bit.

They gave me their very own link too! :D

But this one, which I wouldn't have bothered to look at at all if it wasn't for this thread (I don't look in junk unless I have a reason too) actually gave me a really good laugh...

No offense but if you believed this crap even for a second you're an idiot.

If I had a nickel for every bubbleheaded idiot who ever forwarded chain letters to me at the various jobs I've held over the years, I could probably buy a small late-model Japanese car. The only thing that will happen if you don't forward a chain email is that you might gain an IQ point or two.

Eh, I don't believe much of it. Been hearing the rumour for a while. Not that I care really; there's IRC... and other IM clients for more mainstream people.

I never get spammed with e-mails on my private account. My parents get spammed a lot.
