Pay for Msn Messenger ?

[fjl307]

I got this in My email from a friend... On the 1st of november , we will have to pay for the use of our MSN and email accounts unless we send this message to at least 18 contacts on your contact list. It's no joke if you don't believe me then go to the site ( www.msn.com ) and see for yourself. Anyways once you've sent this message to at least 18 contacts , your msn dude will become blue. please copy and paste don't forward cos people won't take notice of it otherwise


Anybody know if it's true? I cannot find it anywhere.

Not to worry. This is false. This has been floating around for quite some time.

Yep, i checked that it was false from one site some time ago when i got that email too.

However that would be anyway bad move from msn producers becose yahoo messenger is free. But i prefer myself more yahoo mgs than msn. I don't just understand why all uses here in Finland that crappy msn, friends, family and etc. Same thing is that mostly finish dudes does uses for example hotmail mail as primary mail instead they could get 1Gb yahoo mail. Finish are so stuped :p even i'm one of them :D

but take care everyone ;)

Why not get them GMAIL invites galore? Since GMAIL invites tend to propagate, you may just start a small revolution;).

Well if you did send that message to those 18 contacts, I know that a spammer just got 18 brand new email addresses ;)

As you probably know by now, it's false. MSN will never do anything that drastic without notifying it's users first. If that's not enough for you, you could always check MSN.com (NEVER click on links from suspicious emails - phishers, spammers, etc. often exploit HTML enabled email services by masking links that direct you somewhere else). If you can't spot chain letters, suspicious emails, etc. by now, your either too gullible or are not familiar with the internet. :p

From reading the mail - I would automatically delete such things - ahahahah - The guy there just got ya- why will msn ask you to send smthing to 18 contacts and then get it for free? is that a difficult task? there are millions shrimps that will get trapped...until then be aware!!!!
