Keldyn Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 If AOL and ZDNET had honestly agreed to help, i doubt they would make this person post emails all over the web first, whilst the baby is still very sick. AOL will not, cannot track emails. It sickens me that people can be so heartless to make these kind of pranks and play on peoples emotions.This scam has been done to death...When will people learn that these kind of forwarding emails are an utter load of junk..:right: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keldyn Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Originally posted by shafi You never know if this is a prank. Oh come on !! This prank has been done many many times, and in different guises. But essentially it is always the same. Some one is sick, or dying, so send this email to as many people as you can. Its rubbish. These companies have the money to pay for said operation, rather than making these people forward stupid emails why couldnt they just pay for the operation and help the child ? Suspect ? Yes indeedy....:right: And on another note, if this were really true, why the hell would they appeal to companies like AOL and ZDNET !? And asking for the help of millions of anonymous users worldwide via email ? If i were dying of a terminal illness, that is the last thing i would do.Brain cancer is a serious illness. What kind of sick person would say, yeah sure, i'll save your life, but first, get on your computer and send this note to as many people as you can !??I may not like AOL, but i doubt they could be this heartless.

Very true. It would be easier if they post on their site. I think that AOL and ZDnet are not involved with this matter. I hate pranks (spam).
