Possible scam?? Don't really know were to post this but I thought it could become a major scam so maybe it could be posted. Well here is how the email read. If anyone wants the full e-mail (addresses and all people it has been forwarded to) just PM or e-mail me.

To all of my friends, I do not usually forward messages,

LOLOL Yep

Idiots still think these CHAIN emails(chainies) are real.

I like the one where if you send it to # email addresses, a yellow funny thing will appear on your monitor.

Man o man, still amusing.

You know, when you get something like this, you shouldn't delete it. You should e-mail everyone on the cc: list and tell them NOT to forward this crap everywhere. If you want to point them somewhere you can esily find whatever is the scam-of-the-month on www.snopes.com. Otherwise people just keep forwarding and forwarding....

Just an FYI this e-mail has been sent to around 1,500 people!

well, this confirms that world has at least 1500 idiots

if you don't belive in this garbage, why did you want to show it to us?

hoping that if it is real you'd be famous? :shifty:

People it was a joke.

Could someone close this thread up before it gets out of control?

Haha you posted it in the Back Page news originally not jokes. Don't try to save face now.
