AOL/Intel Merger

The AOL and Intel merger hoax claims that due to a merger, the two companies are running an email 'beta' test. As part of that test, AOL and Intel will pay a fixed sum of money for each copy of the email forwarded.While theoretically it is possible to track email under some very limited circumstances, the entire process is so fallible that no legitimate company would seriously consider it viable. Further, stockholders would frown upon any company that agreed to pay any sum of money for someone to simply forward an email. As Grandma would say, "there's no such thing as a free ride" and "if it sounds to good to be true, it is."

SORRY EVERYBODY.....JUST HAD TO TAKE THE CHANCE AND FORWARD THIS!!! ONE NEVER KNOWS DOES ONE? WE HUMANS ARE SOOOOOOO GULLIBLE!!

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. 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. 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????
