There was a SWA commercial just like that. The user clicked on an email that spread a virus throughout the company. It was quite funny.

Haha, I think I remember that. Wasn't he in a cubicle and then the camera came back to show people in the sea of cubicles all exclaiming over their infected computers?

The guy said he's a lawyer, and lawyers never lie! This must work!

Forward it to me.

You should send him a spoofed e-mail telling him that the beta-test is over and instead of giving money, the service is complete and now costs money. Then attach an invoice for a figure around $500,000.

Then slap him in the face with your johnson for being an idiot.

 

[PHiuR]

he just made $2.5million dollars by forwarding that once...so if some more people forward it...he's only going to get richer.. YES!

It was a lady in a cubicle, but otherwise, yes.

I hope this link works.

Ooh, Mama! This is finally really happening. After years of disappointment with get-rich-quick schemes, I know I'm gonna get Rich with this scheme...and quick!

 

[pbaker]

since that person works at a railroad delivery company, maybe he should lay on the tracks.

QFT FTW!

Yeah, I'd like to take anyone who ever uses the "reply all" feature, and rearrange the keys on their keyboard. At least then they'd have an excuse for the incessant babbling they respond with, usually to an e-mail that I didn't care about in the first place! :roll:

 

[Fraggable]

I had a user once report that 'her email elevator was stuck'.

Her vertical scrool bar in Outlook was grayed out because the email wasn't long enough to need to scrool to see all of it.

She also was the kind of user who wore out the reply to all feature. Actually, I seem to remember this email going around work at one time. I wonder if she did it...

 

[archcommus]

Why do people see any reason to this in the first place? Why would MS pay people to forward emails?

And by the sounds of the some of the replies in this thread, apparently some people really do have hope for this.

 

[MustISO]

He should be fired immediately.
