Anyone hear of this?
 

Is it a scam?

THIS TOOK TWO PAGES OF THE TUESDAY USATODAY - IT IS FOR
REAL


This thing is for real. Rest assured AOL and Intel will
follow through with their promises for fear of facing a
multimillion-dollar class action suit similar to the one filed by
PepsiCo against General Electric not too long ago.

I thought this was a scam myself, But two weeks after
receiving this e-mail and forwarding it on. Microsoft contacted me for
my address and withindays, I receive a check for $24,800.00. You need to
respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can affoard this,
Bill gates is the man.
It's all marketing expense to him. Please forward this
to as many people as possible. You are bound to get at least $10,000.00.
We're not going to help them out with their e-mail beta test without
getting a little something for our time. My brother's girlfriend got in
on this a few months ago. When i went to visit him for the Baylor/UT
game. She showed me her check. It was for the sum of $4,324.44 and was
stamped "Paid in full"
Like i said before, I know the law, and this is for
real.
Intel and AOL are now discussing a merger which would
make them the largest Internet company and in an effort make sure that
AOL remains the most widely used program, Intel and AOL are running an
e-mail beta test.
When you forward this e-mail to friends, Intel can and
will track it( if you are a Microsoft Windows user)for a two week time
period.
TRy it; What have you got to lose

wow where you 5 yrs ago when that first came out?

Yes, it is a scam.
