$10 for MSN (1 Viewer)

[~4Sad=shadows4~]

Did anyone get an email about MSN going to charge ppl money to use MSN because they are running out of names or some shit...

(this is the email i got from a friend):

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
(a friend of mine added) - 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 (
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1189119.stm ) 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.

Key words in that news article are "improved services" therefore there will be a premium service and a free service

don't worry about it, the news article is dated from feb 2001. If they were going to charge it would have started a while ago.

Not everyone has received scam emails before. Not everyone knows there are scams. Nobody knows everything - yes, you're a retard/moron/idiot in somebody else's eyes too.

Just a simple "its a fake/scam email" is enough to get the point across, without any need for insulting anyone.
