Forward
an Email for Justin Mallory and He'll Get Contributions for his Epilepsy-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor: Justin
Mallory is 12 years old. He has epilepsy and has a year to
live. McDonalds and Pizza Hut have offered to contribute one
dollar for his medical care for every email that is forwarded to
others around the Internet.
The Truth:
This
is a hoax. There is no software or procedure for tracking
forwarded emails in a way that will result in payments for them.
A real example of the story as it has been
circulated:
HELLO: My name is Justin Mallory.
I am 12 years old and have epilepsy. I am undergoing
treatment for my disease at the University of Pennsylvania Teaching
Hospital. Without this treatment, the doctors tell me that I will not
live another year.
Through a donation with McDonalds and Pizza Hut these
companies have agreed to donate $1 for every time this email is
forwarded onto another person. This means if 50,000 people forward on
this email I will receive $50,000 in free medical treatment. Please,
every single email can make a difference in my life. I beg you to help
me by simply joining others before you in simply sending this email on
to another.
