Folks, Has anyone else received this email? I presume it is BS?

========================================
THIS TOOK TWO PAGES OF THE TUESDAY USATODAY -
IT IS FOR REAL


Subject: PLEEEEEEASE READ!!!! it was on the
news!


This thing is for real. Rest assured AOL and
Intel will follow through with their promises
for fear of facing a multimillion-dollar class
action suit
similar to the one filed by PepsiCo against
General Electric not too long ago.


Dear Friends; Please do not take this for a
junk letter. Bill Gates sharing
his fortune. If you ignore this, You will
repent later. Microsoft and AOL
are now the largest Internet companies and in
an effort to 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
weeks time period.

For every person that you forward this e-mail
to, Microsoft will pay you
$245.00 For every person that you sent it to
that forwards it on, Microsoft
will pay you $243.00 and for every third person
that receives it, You will
be paid $241.00. Within two weeks, Microsoft
will contact you for your address and then send
you a check.

yes, I do believe this could be BS. :rofl:

The trick is, 1, they want to give out money (yeah right) 2, how will they contact you?? How can you prove you sent the emails, or didn't and want the money??

You are standing on the tip of an iceberg, soon you will be experienced young one...
