It is surprising how many people I have heard lately that have been talking about Hotmail charging all of their free users to use their account, or it will be deleted.

I wondered where everyone had heard this rubbish from, and then this morning I received this email:




I checked out the link, and yes, it does talk about MSN charging users etc. But if you look at the date when the article was written, you'll find that it is 7 years out of date...

I know it is obvious that if you receive an email like this it is fake.. but it is getting annoying at how many people I have heard worry about it...



This sort of thing amazes me...
at how one person can make a joke up like this, and at how fast news will travel around the place. It also amazes me at just what people do actually bieleve.

I'm thinking about warning everyone about the killer muffins from Mars...

Wow. That is one of the fakest email's I've ever seen lol. Microsoft in an email would never use all caps and would defiantly not make you forward an email on to keep an account. And plus, whenever you sign up for the free hotmail I've never seen a place to enter a credit card or anything so how could they charge you.

You can actually get Hotmail Premium which gives you no ads and more storage space. I've brought it [its not that much] but they haven't charged me yet...

I was thinking about buying that too. But at the moment I only ahve like 7% of my 5gb is it? used up at the moment... and I have somethign stupid like 5,000 emials saved... and I use adblock plus

so I didn't see the point. I guess if you own a busniss or something thoguh it would be worth it.

I remember when that email did the rounds years ago - there was also something similar going around then about MSN Messenger.

I like the chain mail with cute puppies and what not =D and then at the bottom it says "i hope that made your day, forward it on to make someone elses" I always delete them anyway.

Well I HATE the ones where they show you beautiful scenic pics of wonderful far off lands and then it says it will show you the best scenic view ever and you get a shot of these muscle overloaded guys with their kit off!
