Summary of the eRumor The eRumor claims to be
from a woman named Krista Marie who says her baby, Natalie, has
brain cancer. She says AOL has agreed to pay five cents for
each email forwarded about her to help with medical costs.
The Truth
This is a hoax. We've not found
anyone of these descriptions and there is no system being used on
the Internet to track forwarded emails for the purpose of
compensating anyone for it.
A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet:
Hello, My name is Krista Marie and I have anew born baby named Natalie.
She means the world to me, and just resently, the doctors have
discovered that my little Natalie has Brain Cancer. Unfortunatly my
husband and I don't have the money to pay for the bill. But my husband
and I have worked out a deal with AOL and they have agreed to give us
5cents to each person that recived this e-mail. So please, forward this
to everyone you know, and help out my little Natalie and I.
