Hey it is tara and john the directors of MSN, sorry for the interruption but msn is closing down. this is because too many inconsiderate people are taking up all the name (eg making up lots of different accounts for just one person), we only have 578 names left. If you would like to close your> account, DO NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE ON. If you would like to keep your account, then SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. This is no joke, we will be shuttinsg down the servers. Send it on, thanks. WHO EVER DOES NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE CLOSED AND YOU WILL COST 10.00 A MONTH TO USE. SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. NOW YOU> KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD THIS or REPLAY. COPY THE WHOLE EMAIL.> GO BACK TO YOUR INBOX AND CLICK ON NEW. AND PASTE THANK YOU FOR YOUR> ATTENTION. It's no joke if you don't believe me then go to the site> (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1189119.stm ) and see for yourself.> Anyways once you've sent this message to at least 18 contacts, your msn dude> will become blue.

mate, it's a really old hoax

yeh I head it once bf4, was just checking...

Internet is full of strange people.

lol awesome

Old one

Anyway hacker use that to hack for msn adress too <.<
You just need to be careful

yeah its old and yeah what bunu said be careful and yeah strange ppl

u dont really need to click any link to see. many phrases inside the text betray it. Also use of caps and no certai structure. Pure spam that tries to make his recievers worry about it on order to send it to have their mind sure XD
ohh and lol only a few names left hahahahah thats impossible... no no... IMPOSSIBLE >.>

Punctuation is too poor to be a real message, they wouldn't use caps, and wouldn't write alot of crap like, THIS ISNT A HOAX.

Just some noobs did it.

LOL serioulsy look at the sentence they wrote in kind of a formal notice:

"It's no joke if you don't believe me then go to the site" LOOOOL

No company would send a mail with that structure....

"YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE CLOSED AND YOU WILL COST 10.00 A MONTH TO USE"

I will cost money and which currency am I priced at? xD

Besides, msn is property of Microsoft, I doubt it would be closing down any time soon.

Usually if I don't recognize the sender of the E-mail, I don't even open it.
Instead deleter straight. =P
