old_lady

Sorry to have to do this, but just to confirm with my fellow nerds, this is a load of rubbish, am I right?

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 names (eg making up lots of different accounts
for
just one person), we only have so many 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 MESSAGE, 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 REPLY. COPY THE WHOLE EMAIL.
GO
BACK TO YOUR INBOX AND CLICK ON NEW. AND PASTE THANK YOU
FOR YOUR ATTENTION hey everyone, i dont normally send this sort of stuff out
but
had a look on the internet and its actually true . On the 1st of
november , we will have to pay for the use of our MSN and email
accounts unless we send this message to at least 18 contacts on your contact
list.
It's no joke if you don't believe me then go to the site and see for
yourself.
Anyways once you've sent this message to at least 18 contacts, your msn dude
will become blue. please copy and paste don't forward cos people won't take
notice of it.
END OF MESSAGE

Now listen here old_lady(2/10, extremely unsexy unless Joan Collins has signed up)
If you receive this or a similar message, please do not forward it to your friends and colleagues or Pighead. Everybody knows that forwarding unsolicited chain letters wastes time and bandwidth.

lol yeah, must be. That is the biggest load of **** i have ever read.

I don't know. It sounds so plausible. And the mail is so well ritten u wud believe that Andy and John the directors of MSN write it good.

Hobbes

I don't know.. last thing I want is my dude to go blue.

shroomfox

Well, I was speaking to Andy just the other day and he said it's true. They lost everybody's e-mail addresses so they decided just to send it as a chain letter.

Except that the MSN dude doesn't turn blue exactly, it's more of a turquoise.

projectmayhem

this is real folks, just head on to msn's website and see for yourselves...

WhiteWashMan

ah crikey, i just copied and pasted that and sent it to all of my business contacts!

Well if i send it to just 10 people, can i be a mod instead?

Terry

old_lady, if you don't send that on then 7,000 of your closest friends will have bad luck forever.
it's true. i got the following message and didn't send it on. all 7,000,000 people in my social circle were cursed with bad luck.

GUARDIAN ANGEL* Forward this message the same day you received it. It may
sound ridiculous, but it is right on time. We believe that something is
about to happen. Angels exist, only sometimes they haven't got wings and we
call them friends; you are one of them. Something wonderful is about to
happen to you and your friends. Today at 6:33 pm somebody will address you
and tell you something you have been waiting to hear. Please do not break
this chain. Send it to at least 7 of your friends.

*complete and utter crap.

meowCat

It is just a hoax.
See this Sophos page.

Tar.Aldarion

Just sent it to all the faculty of NUIG.
Thanks for the heads up.

Adam

I wouldn't mind really, its all bullsh1t, but if the fu(ktards that send it on would actually read the friggin article at the link provided in the email they'd find out that yes, there may be charges on CERTAIN MSN SERVICES, BUT HOTMAIL WILL REMAIN FREE!!! Chris almighty....:rolleyes:

That line alone didn't make you a bit suspicious?

"this is because too many inconsiderate people are taking up all the names (eg making up lots of different accounts for just one person), we only have so many names left."
OH NOE! TEH NAMES! Seriously. "We only have so many names left"? This line alone is wrong on so many levels, I wouldn't know where to start.

SantaHoe

This is no joke

You just know it's official when you read that tbh.

Forwarding unsolicited chain letters wastes time and bandwidth. And if you use aol it will earn you a warning!

FunkyChicken

This **** makes me hate bebo

Shabadu

Dear guys, Al Gore here. Due to the selfishness of bubbles using up all the nicknames on the internets, we are runnning out of names. The internets A through M will be shut down immideartly and de rest next week unnless u send one dollar to Happy Dude, 742 Evergreen terrace. This is no joke! We r shutting off the Gibsons already and deleting your megahurtz unless u send this to everyone on ur contacts list. Kthx.

Faith

Yeah, that went around Bebo for months too. Fcuking dumbasses that forward them on!

rugbug86

aren't they the same owners of bebo?

Bartronilic

Hmm let me see one of the 1000000 reasons why that is fake; wouldn't the actual people at msn send that to you? Some people are just urghhh

kirving

It's no joke if you don't believe me then go to the site and see for
yourself.....

If it was Bill Gates or whoever, I doubt there would be any need for him to "prove himself" to anyone, especially if it came from hotmail management. Fcuktrads!

Rockee

MSN is the business...Ive saved so much phone credit since I started using it

Sam Vimes

bebo is full of that sh ite. people who are used to the internet started deleting them ten years ago but all the n00bs (and i hate to use the word) really think that its possible to run out of names or they'll have bad sex forever or if they don't send to to a million people in the next 3.2 seconds a goat will grow on their face. it pisses me right off


and those things where you anwer a load of questions and then add up your score and it turns out you're donald duck or some other random character that has nothing to do with the questions you answered. the sender laughs and his friends laugh and i die a little inside

i guarantee it will work.
i would almost set up a bebo account just to do that. i'm lazy though. someone else do it and tell us the results.
