Summary of eRumor Junior
Johnson, the founder of Cracker Barrel, says he's trying to reach
the rural areas where his stores are not located. If you
forward his email to nine of your friends, you'll receive
authorization by email for a $50 gift certificate.
The Truth This
is a hoax. The Cracker Barrel company says they don't know who
Junior Johnson is and that they are not giving gift certificates in
response to forwarded emails.
This is one of a large number of emails that are promising rewards
for forwarding emails to others...none of which is true. There
is no practical way to track forwarded emails in this way.
A real example of the story as it has
been circulated:
My name is Junior Johnson, founder of Cracker Barrel.
In an attempt to get our name out to more people in the rural communities where we are not
currently located, we are offering a $50 gift certificate to anyone who forwards this
email to 9 of their friends.
Just send this email to them and you will receive an email back with a confirmation number to claim your gift
certificate.
Sincerely Junior Johnson Founder of Cracker Barrel
