    Weird email, has anyone gotten it?

    I just recieved this email, and it read:


    Dear Hotmail User,

    Because of the sudden rush of people signing up to

    Hotmail,it has come to our attention that we are vastly

    running

    out of resources. So, within a month's time, anyone who

    does not

    receive this email with the exact subject heading, will be

    deleted off our server.Please forward this email so that

    we know

    you are still using this account.

    WARNING WARNING

    We want to find out which users are actually using their

    Hotmail

    accounts. So if you are using your account, please pass

    this

    e-mail to every Hotmail user that you can and if you do

    not pass

    this letter to anyone we will delete your account.



    From Mr. Jon Henerd

    Hotmail Admin. Dept.


    Our hotmail system is getting to crowded!! We need you to forward this to at least 20 people. I know this seems like a large number, but we need to find out who is really using their account. If you do not send this to at least 10 Hotmail members, we will delete your account. Sorry for this inconvenience.
    Sincerely, Director of Hotmail Services

    Aaron Lopez

    Please do this! Some of my friends have already gotten deleted and you aren't allowed to send it back to the person who sent this email to you!!!

    omg, I'm just checking my email now, and I got it!! Aww, is it really true? It's weird, I don't know if I believe it. But I forwarded it to some people anyways.

    I am wondering if it is true too. I forwarded it too, just in case.

    Maybe you should scan your computers for viruses now, those of you who have received that email. I wouldn't be surprised if a virus was attached.


    Thanks for the siggy, Lexi_Lover!

    There's a paypal virus going around now too. Those of you who use PAYPAL do NOT run the .exe that comes with the PAYPAL email. It's fake and contains a virus.

    I've gotten this along time ago. Its a scam. Some person with no life. (I -still- have my acct and I never sent it) They have other ways to see if your active or not, IE if you sign in or not

Because my friends keep sending it to me...i didnt even read it! just deleted it..its fake and stupid! And somthing about forwarding anything..somtimes it says if you dont forward it so and so will happen, well if you never opened it in the first place than what...you wont even know what...WILL happen..it is so dumb! but some emails can be scary...
