Hi Michael,
These are never real. You can read about this one at: 
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/nothing/microsoft-aol.asp 
<http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/nothing/microsoft-aol.asp>
This site contains information on popular mass emails and web stories and 
indicates whether they are true or 'urban legends' and the research that 
proves it.
See you soon,
John

Read This!!!
Tue, 25 Sep 2007 14:15:44 -0700
Read carefully... THIS TOOK TWO PAGES OF THE TUESDAY USA TODAY - IT IS FOR 
REAL To all of my friends, I do not usually forward messages, But this is 
from my friend Pearlas Sandborn and she really is an attorney. If she says 
that this will work - It will work. After all, what have you got to lose? 
SORRY EVERYBODY.. JUST HAD TO TAKE THE CHANCE!!! I'm an attorney, And I know 
the law. 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 week 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. 
Regards. Charles S Bailey General Manager Field Operations 1-800-842-2332 
Ext. 1085 or 904-1085 or R NX 292-1085 Thought this was a scam myself, But 
two weeks after receiving this e-mail and forwarding it on. Microsoft 
contacted me for my address and within days, I received a check for $24, 
800.00. You need to respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can 
afford this, Bill gates is the man. It's all marketing expense to him. 
Please forward this to as many people as possible. You are bound to get at 
least $10, 000.00 We're not going to help them out with their e-mail beta 
test without getting a little something for our time. My brother's 
girlfriend got in on this a few months ago. When I went to visit him for the 
Baylor/UT game, she showed me her check. It was for the sum of $4,324.44 and 
was stamped "Paid In Full".

This is not spam.  This is another form of unwanted mail.  You could be
doing your communicating with some persona you 'know' from an email
perspective rather than communicating with the spamcop.spam group.

For here, we can discuss my opinion about that or your feelings about my
opinion about that or the 'meaning' of various forms of social spam and
how to manage social spam.

Social spam shouldn't be SC reported.  Of course you can discuss any
kind of spam you feel like discussing here.  IMO.

This item starts with a classic 1997 snopes listed urban legend and then
gets forwarded and forwarded.  IMO the very first recipient who forwards
is just as guilty as the originator and thus the blame propagates to
each subsequent forwarder.

We have also been discussing the 'phenomenon' of crossposted messages in
newsgroups in the usenet group news.software.readers and I am in a
minority in my opinion about how it should be handled when I read a
message crossposted to alt.spam and a number of other groups.

I 'always' snip out all of the other crossposted groups and my reply and
thus its followups only go into the group where I read it, no others.
This of course is problematic for the participants in the conversation
who do not even read alt.spam, but participate in the thread from other
groups.

This email forwarding business is the same way.  Each forwarder,
including the ones who were debunking the urban myth, was addressing hir
remarks to all of the To:/s just like crossposted newsmessages.  Should
they have been doing that?  Should they have been 'lecturing' all of the
other To/s about how each forwarder before shouldn't have been?
Something else?
