Messenger down for 7 days? by EGIS on 10-12-2004 at 03:16 PM
I've gotten this chain-message from many of my contacts in the past two hours. It states that Thursday, this week, MSN will be down for 7 days.
Is this correct or just scam? I haven't seen this on any MSN Messenger site, that's why I'm suspicious.

Well i think its just spam because if MSN has you tell you anything or convey any kind of message) it will be either on the website, a message on your msn messenger, or a mail on your hotmail (from microsoft
msn does not beleive in any kind of chain letters so please don't ever beleive in them

haha, only a fool would believe this...Most likely someone past around a fear of MSN going down, due to as it was before a few times before...Chinese whisper effect has lead to this and then boom someone jumps on the chain mail scam...

OK, thanks.
I usually don't believe in chain messages (and I hate them), but since MSN has been down the latest days, it could have been some truth to it.
About chain messages; often they are the fastest way to spread news, but not from Microsoft, of course
