For a one-stop shop to determine whether or not some piece of email you
receive in your inbox is a hoax, please to check SNOPES.COM. For
instance, they have a section of their site called "Inboxer Rebellion"
which details their investigations to numerous, numerous hoax-ish email
forwards. Think of it as the Mythbusters for the Internet...
Here is the link to the page for the email we received today:
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/nothing/billgate.asp#billgate
To quote: "I would hope that any hoax this badly perpetrated would die a
quick death, but events have proved otherwise."
A great site, and it will have to suffice until we acquire the
technology to squirt people with a water bottle across the Internet.

If she says that this will work - It will work. After all, what have you
got to lose?
SORRY EVERYBODY.. JUST HAD TO TAKE THE CHANCE!!!
I'm an attorney, 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.
Dear Friends; Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates

thought this was a scam myself, But two weeks of receiving this e-mail and
forwarding it on. Microsoft contacted me for my address and withindays,
&! gt;
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.
