Netscape and AOL Tracking Hoax

*************************************************************
This is a hoax. See the statement from Microsoft themselves at

Netscape and AOL have recently merged to form the largest internet company in
the world. In an effort to remain at pace with this giant, Microsoft has
introduced a new email tracking system as a way to keep Internet Explorer as
the most popular browser on the market. This email is a beta test of the new
software and Microsoft has generously offered to compensate who participate in
the testing process. For each person you send this email to, you will be
given $5. For every person they give it to, you will be given an additional
$3. For every person they send it to you will receive $1. Microsoft will
tally all the emails produced under your name over a two week period and then
email you with more instructions. This beta test is only for Microsoft
Windows users because the email tracking device that contacts Microsoft is
embedded into the code of Windows 95 and 98.

I know you guys hate forwards. But I started this a month ago because I was
very short on cash. A week ago I got an email from Microsoft asking me for my
address. I gave it to them and yesterday I got a check the mail for $800.
It really works. I wanted you to get a piece of the action. You won’t regret
it.
