Endangered Hotmail-accounts!!!!
Due to the general increase of accounts Hotmails has decided to reduce them drastically by sending out a mail which must be forwarded to at least 10 other account-owners. If there is any other Mooter which also is a hotmail-owner, could that person or persons please send me their adresses thus allowing me to save my account and theirs to.

Do I need to send it through Hotmail? If not, it is in my profile. Do whatever you want with it (except get into my personal history and delete me from existance )

I got this email a few months ago, though I can't remember how many people I sent it on to. My accounts still open - so are the ones I don't use. Well if you need my email just PM me asking for it. (That goes with everyone). I don't like posting my email across the net!
PS. congratulations on 1000 posts Beor!

Don't bother, this isn't true. Mails stating that "Hotmails has decided to reduce the number of accounts" have been circulating before. There is no truth in them whatsoever.

As others have said - the e-mail is fake. As is the one that there is going to be a tax on e-mail accounts and many many others.
People send these out - and then people forward them all over the place. It actually causes a performance hit to the net. If people don't want the net to become bogged down - don't forward these things. Some of these chain mails have a noticeable affect on the performance of the internet that IS observable.

Glad you've got some sense to listen to these people. Besides, anytime I get anything from *@hotmail.com, it's probably spam. So, I delete it. |
