Alright who all has recieved this email? and is it a hoax?

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 by PepsiCo against General Electric not too long ago. Dear Friends: Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates sharing his fortune. If you ignore
this, You will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are
now the largest Internet companies and in an effort
to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the
most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are
running an e-mail beta test.
When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft
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 $245.00 For every person that you sent it to, that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third

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 within
days, I received a check for $24, 800.00. You need to respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can afford 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'. Version: 7.5.519 / Virus Database: 269.21.7/1335 -

Wow, this one is still floating around? I haven't seen it for at least 5 years. There is no record of any lawsuit involving Pepsico and GE. The first line says AOL and Intel then goes on to talk about Bill Gates. Bill Gates is head of Microsoft (a software company), not Intel (a chip manufacturer). It also states "for a two week period" but then says someone got invovlved "a few months ago".

SCAM just hit the SPAM button do not open it just confirms your email address and you will get a lot more spam. Never give out your personal info to any of these places. Can you really see them giving out money to everyone who answers this email. I wish! Hope this helps!!!

It is a Hoax..they will never never send anyone stuff like this..there are more and more hacker out there finding ways to use company names and getting away with it and people get sucker into this kind of thing. I'm sure you hear where people have made a ATM machine and you think it is the right one but then you find out all your accounts have been hacked into and your passwords are taken and to top it off your money..and your life and all your ID and more..so if anyone thinks this is true..then your stupid to believe it

I received this email through yahoo somehow over a year ago. I did send it and did not ever get paid. It's a hoax!! I always fall for those gimmicks but it doesn't work! No such thing as quick money i guess!!
