    I have a profile on Bebo, I find it useful for keeping in contact with old friends from school. However, I seriously wonder about peoples intelligence when I get forwards such as these:
    From the Beboers, account clean up

    To all our beboers,
    This is an official email to inform you that here at bebo our server is gettin too full of you! Therefore we will be closing inactive accounts in the next 3 weeks. If you would like to keep your existing account send this message to all the people on your freinds list thank you for your co operation

    please note: this email is tagged and all users who fowrard it will be marked to prevent deletion by our system.

    Thanks
    The Team at Bebo.com
    Hey it is Andy the director of Bebo Tim Buiski, sorry for the
    interruption but Bebois closing the system down because too many
    inconsiderate people are taking up all the names, we only have 578 names left, if you would like to close your account, then do not send this message out, if you would like to keep your account, then send this message to everyone on your contact
    list. This is no joke, we are really shutting down the servers. Send it, thanks, Tim Buiski, WHO EVER DOES NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE CLOSED AND WILL COST
    $10.00 A MONTH TO USE, SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST.

    Now, are the people on Bebo just stupid? Do they really believe this crap? Do they not realise that the first sentence of the 2nd one makes no sense, the spelling in both is appalling and the grammer is awful. Not to mention the fact that you CAN'T run out of names.

    And finally:
    From the first moment that you joined bebo, every profile that you have viewed has been recorded by bebo. On January 1st 2006, Bebo are emailing all members a list complete with everyone that has ever viewed your profile and the amount of times that each person has viewed you. If your interested in receiving this email from bebo, simply forward this on to your bebo friends and your name will automatically be added to our mailing list!

    Bebo Staff, USA.

    Has nobody noticed that the first of January has come and gone 5 weeks ago?!

    Honestly, I seriously wonder about peoples intelligence these days. :rolleyes:

    That's the level of intelligence of people using said site...

    Do you honestly believe this was sent by a representative of bebo?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    I'd love to know just how many people were actually stupid enough to buy into it.

    No, I don't, hence my posting about it in the first place.

    Apparently, millions were stupid enough to buy into it because it's been sent to me by nearly everyone on my contacts list, which includes some very intelligent people.

    Sorry, wasn't clear. I used to work in IT support, and people who I thought I could trust and found engaging in conversation, and would even enjoy a drink with after work, would send me emails like; Send this to 10 people and an angel will appear or 20 people and the lord himself will wash your feet! Wasting valuable electronic paper!
