Forward
an Email to Five People...win $100-Fiction!
Summary of Rumor:
This
simple email says to forward it to five friends and a box will appear on
your screen telling you you've won $100. It includes the web address
of iwon.com.
The Truth:
This
is a hoax. www.iwon.com is a real
website where prizes can be won, but not through forwarded emails.
As with other, similar hoaxes, one of the problems with this one is that
your forwarded emails cannot be tracked, so there's no way for you to
receive compensation for the activity.
A real example of the story as it has
been circulated:
Subject:
DON'T DELETE!! iwon.com
If you got
this email you're lucky (don't
delete). You have just won a 100
dollars!.......
You will only get the money if you
send
this to 5 or more people. A box will
appear on the screen after you have
sent it! It really works.... try it!
Take 5 min. out of your time and send
this...believe me you
won't be sorry!!
0-2 people: $10
2-4people: $20
4-6people: $50
6-8people: $75
8-10people:$ 100!!!!!!!! Keep on
sending!!!!!
