New (Fraudulent) chain letter. by .blade// on 04-14-2005 at 11:02 PM

I haven't seen any posts about this before so I thought it'd be smart to warn everybody. If you get a message including this image and/or text - don't worry about it, it's as fake as every other chain letter out there. Note: I didn't actually get this [I use Gmail] - my friend sent me it because he believed he really did need to forward it to 15 people.

This kind of things are annoying :S.. why not take a look on the mail thingy with a butterfly in it (Messages from the staff always have that thing) I know you already know that.. and when you first made your account it says that they will never send Personal messages, or ask you to send to other thousands of people :@ but well :P Thanks for the news blade (y)

Most of the time I don't read the mail I get from the Hotmail staff.. So I never have problems deciding whether it's true or not :D.

I used to get these back like 2 years ago, and I made fun of all my friends for believing them.

PS.  about the title, aren't all chain letters fraudulent? Pretty sure they are... :P

.... I used to recive that all the time till i moved over to the GMAIL
the only thing that is sad about that is people belive it.

actually u should read what they send.. It could be important...

Something about an upgrade or something u know.. That doesnt make u smarter then stupid people. It makes it look the other way around :lol:
RE: New (Fraudulent) chain letter. by x-Stalker-x on 04-15-2005 at 03:34 PM

well i did read what it said and it wasnt important.

your only defensive because your probably one of the poeple that belived them.

Answer to all your hotmail problems is simply not to use it end of story.
