At the risk of covering topic already covered and coming of rude:

No it isn't true. It's a load of absolute crap. Just another one of those forwarded emails you should delete ;)

one of my mates got that email and started going to yahoo messenger and he told everyone through email go to yahoo since you have to pay for msn (wlm) it was funny :D and he was embarassed so he tried to cover it up the next saying that he got the information from the msn website
lol
anyway its not true if they did that it would lose many customers since no other IM program you have to pay for
hope it helps :D

I keep telling people that it isn't true and they always give me the exact same answer, "I don't care, it's fun!"


RE: Whats this all about? is it true? by Chris4 on 09-01-2006 at 10:27 PM

Yay! Let's tell people that MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger isn't free! and that it's going to cost them so they get scared and send the e-mail to more and more people! Wow this is so funn! :rolleyes:

When I get the e-mail I tell them to :refuck: off.

I honestly find it hard to believe that some people can believe that these e-mails are real :S
Most of these emails dont have proper grammer or punctuation or even any evidence they are actually from MSN or whatever.

I can't find the email about MSN Messenger beginning to charge, but this one:

quote:
we are very sorry for the problems that MSN are having but they will be fixed. MSN will shut down at 12:00 tonight for a week or so until we can figure out what has been going on. please send this once again to at least 25 people it doesn't matter if they are the same people just do it so that we will not shut your account down thank you
Do people actually believe it :S:S

Last time I received a chain letter, I was :blah: to that e-mail sender on msn. After that I didn't receive any chain letter from that person (A). Anyways, these mails are just gay, I can't believe that people are just reading it and forward it and DON'T use their brain to think about it before....
