msn closing

[Maarya]

i got this on email just now and i thought i'd post it on here...

hey it is Andy and john the directors of MSN, sorry for the interruption but
msn is closing down. this is because too many inconsiderate people are
taking up all the name (eg making up lots of different accounts for just one
person), we only have 578 names left. If you would like to close your
account, DO NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE ON. If you would like to keep your
account, then SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. This is no
joke, we will be shutting down the servers. Send it on, thanks. WHO EVER
DOES NOT SEND THIS MESSEAGE, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE CLOSED AND YOU WILL COST
£10.00 A MONTH TO USE. SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. NOW YOU
KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD THIS or REPLAY. COPY THE WHOLE EMAIL.
GO BACK TO YOUR INBOX AND CLICK ON NEW.
AND PASTE THANK YOU FOR YOUR
ATTENTION go to the site (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1189119.stm )
and see for yourself. once you've sent this message to at least 18 contacts,
your msn dude will become blue

[lolwatever]

sis its fakee!

. If you would like to keep your
account, then SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST.

what they basiclly do, is they make you forward to people this email, till it gets forwarded to hundres of people, and then this person takes these emails and puts them on his system and then all these hundres of people are gonna recieve spam email.
that's one of the ways the people do spam.

When you get emails telling you to do something like this, than it is best not to do it.

Msn might as well close, its been useless recently. keeps shutting every few mins.

Ask Iqram and Far7an.. :mad:

Sis Maarya, read the BBC link you provided. It's over 6 years old.

[The Ruler]

i'm ashamed to know you maar *hangs head in shame* *sigh*

[England]

I got that email about 5 years ago. It's a chain letter. What do people get out of it from making people send emails to everyone? :confused:

[Kyubi]

Hahahahahaha

Oh god thank you so much Marya, youv made my day :yawn:

[Maarya]

oops! sorry...well, atleast i made ur day!!!

i was in a rush and i quickly looked at the article and didnt bother thinking about it and just posted it!

oh well...atleast i did acheive something i didnt mean to...emabrass myself and entertain u

[Maarya]

yeh its well fake, it was happening a lot a few months ago

my first reaction was that its fake, but then i looked at (not read) the article and i got fooled

sorry!!!

[aamirsaab]

A lot of people get fooled by it, don't worry. I've received countless emails like this but what people fail to realise is that no email service in their right mind would charge for it, since everyone else is doing it for free; if msn charges people for emails, you betcha yahoo and gmail are going to get a lot of new customers. As a business, you cannot afford to make that kind of mistake.

By all means, forward the above to all your email contacts.

[~H~]

Lol, i still get people sending me that email.. even my cousins.. n they start sending like crazy .. like msn is their life.. lolzz!

my first reaction was that its fake, but then i looked at (not read) the article and i got fooled

no problem btw don't tell anyone but you weren't the only one

[Count DeSheep]

Why'd they even bother to send that? It doesn't look like anything MSN would send. Not formal enough.

['Abd al-Baari]

tell me about it
silly people :rant:

[strider]

This is a more realistic looking fake notice:

[Count DeSheep]

Well, at least there are SOME people that go for quality. Not that I condone this, but still...

I'm crazy...laying:

[Muslim Knight]

Fake, but quality fake. It's got spelling mistakes all over it.
