anyone recently gotten a forwarded email...
...asking you to forward that same email to others so that you can earn $241 from microsoft for each forwarded email, etc?? i remember the same email a couple years back. now, i'm sure microsoft is indeed not involved in this or will they be paying anyone, but i was just curious in knowing the motive behind this scheme? is it merely for an individual to take pride in having created an extensive chain mail?? or is it a means for the creator of the email to track and collect email addresses?? or is this a virus or worm of some sort?? anyone got any ideas??

lol. well it is not a virus or worm...it is either the first and the second one....i mean if they wanted to infect ur computer...they would have have a title and get u to open it...and that is it...no need for text.
and yeah. i recieved the same mail over and over...lol...i just dont send it...that there is no way that they r gonna pay u for forwarding a chain letter. or b able to know where u live to send u the check...hahaha.
there r other mails that r quite annoying aswell...u no those ones that r like...if u send this...then something will come up on ur screen and stuff....blah!...lol
