I am sure you have seen this email in your inbox by now. It has been around a long time. Many have tried to eradicate it and yet it thrives. There are dozens of varieties.
The very idea of being able to make money, get paid for vacations or great merchandise by simply forwarding emails sounds very enticing to those who are not all that computer savvy. It sounds easy and it sound quick and it sounds like something that they already know how to do….forward.
The problem is that the technology doesn’t even exist for email tracking. Another tiny little problem is that nobody is going to pay you or anybody else for forwarding emails…it hasn’t happened…it isn’t happening…and it will NEVER happen.
Please take note….you will NOT receive:
Cash from Microsoft
Free Merchandise from Nike
Free clothing from Gap
$25 Gift Certificates from Abercrombie & Fitch, Old Navy, or Outback Steakhouse
Free cars from Honda
Free Cases of coke from Coca Cola
Or anything else
By forwarding emails! It isn’t going to happen! Let me tell you what, if you do forward these emails, you will get a lot of very unhappy recipients of forwarded email. Forward enough of these things and you could be facing an angry lynch mob made up of a few hundred of your nearest and dearest friends!
