Forward an Email-See a Person Standing on a Bridge-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
In the message is a beautiful picture of a bridge in a wooded setting. The message underneath the picture says that if you forward the message to at least 5 people a person will appear standing on the bridge. The sender asks “Let me know if you know the person?”
The Truth:
This is one of those emails that appeals to the notion that forwarded messages are somehow tracked and that the Internet will know that you have forwarded it to 5 people.
The fact is that no one will appear on the bridge. Somehow people get a kick out of creating a meaningless message that they know will get forwarded by unknowing victims.
