Forward An Email for
Disney and Microsoft and Win a Chance For Money or Travel-Fiction!
Summary of
eRumor This eRumor claims that
Disney and Microsoft are beta-testing an email tracking system and
if you forward it to others, you may win either $5,000 or a trip to
Disneyworld. Some versions say the trip will be to Disneyland
The
Truth It's a hoax. There
is no method being used on the Internet to track forwarded emails
for the purpose of compensating anyone for it. Neither Disney
nor Microsoft is sponsoring it. There is no such person as
Walt Disney, Jr.
A real example of the story as it has
been circulated:
Folks,
I called Disney my damn self. It's no lie.
GET IT DONE! You all owe me.

WALT DISNEY JR. GREETING
Hello Disney fans,
And thank you for signing up for Bill Gates' Beta Email
Tracking
My name is Walt Disney Jr. Here at Disney we are working with
Microsoft which has just compiled an e-mail tracing program that
tracks
everyone to whom this message is forwarded to. It does this through
an unique IP (Internet Protocol) address log book database. We are
experimenting with this and need your help. Forward this to everyone you
know
and if it reaches 13,000 people, 1,300 of the people on the list will
receive $5,000, and the rest will receive a free trip for two to Disney
World for one week during the summer of 1999 at our expense.
Enjoy.
Note: Duplicate entries will not be counted. You will be
notified by email with further instructions once this email has
reached
13,000 people.
Your friends,
Walt Disney Jr., Disney, Bill Gates, & The Microsoft
Development
Team.
