I need a site or a reference to indicate that the following email is a spam/scam/chain letter/fable/urban legend/...
Thanks guys.

SORRY EVERYBODY ... JUST HAD TO TAKE THE CHANCE!!!
I'm an attorney (that's a recommendation??? - Marlene), and I know the law. 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. 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 &quot;Paid In Full&quot;. Like I said before, I know the law, and this is for real.

If you don't believe me you can email her at jpiltman@baylor.edu
<<mailto:jpiltman@baylor.edu>mailto:jpiltman@baylor.edu> She's eager to answer any questions you
guys might have. 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. For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $203.15.
For every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $156.29 and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $17.65. Within two weeks, Intel will contact you for your address and then send you a check. I thought this was a scam myself, but a friend of my
good friend's Aunt Patricia, who works at Intel actually got a check of $4,543.23 by forwarding this e-mail. Try it, what have you got to lose????

Or send an e-mail to the Baylor.edu address. You will get an automated response from the school letting you know that it is not a valid e-mail and if you got a chain e-mail it is untrue.

I don't even bother to read these. Everything about them is garbage; don't even lose more than a milisecond of your life thinking about it.

hmmm... the fact that aol and intel will pay you for simply forwarding a message to a number of people sounds shady. that letter is definitely a big hoax -- it just promotes useless forwarding of mail. the cash also does not make any sense - i mean, take a look @ the money you'll get --> what are those cents for? why can't they just pay you something even...?

anyway, i think what BiB mentioned sums up what i want to say too...&quot;Everything about them is garbage; don't even lose more than a milisecond of your life thinking about it.&quot;

cheers,
