Microsoft Scams Busted
Microsoft and AOL merger – Beta
If you have received a forwarded letter from a friend with these subjects:
“PLLLLEEEAAASSSEEE REEAADDD! IT WAS ON GOODMORNING AMERICA”
“THIS IS NOT JUNK LETTER. BILL GATES IS SHARING HIS FORTUNE.”
“Microsoft and AOL merger.”
and the message goes:
I'm forwarding a forwarded message...read on, it it works you may get $$ from Microsoft. Certainly Bill has enough to share-maybe today we'll be blessed financially!
I am forwarding this because the person who sent it to me is a good friend and does not send me junk. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet company and in an effort 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 week time period. For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $5.00, for every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $3.00 and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $1.00. 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 e-mail and within days, I received a check for $800.00.
Then… you better ignore it. As attractive as it seems, this is a scam.
Sorry, folks. Microsoft and AOL have not merged, they’re not conducting an email beta test, nor has Bill Gates decided to share his hard-earned fortune with people who forward silly chain letters.

You have really helped me out…. thanks!
Just discovered your site on google and i think it is a shame that you are not rated higher since this is a good post. To change this i decided to save your website in order to my personal Rss readers and I’ll try to mention a person in one associated with my articles since you genuinely deserv much more readers when posting content of this high quality.
Have you ever considered publishing an ebook or guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog based on the same ideas you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my audience would value your work. If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e-mail.
Hey! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after checking through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be bookmarking and checking back often!
Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after reading through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back often!
