I just got an email forwarded to me this morning with an exciting proposition. Bill Gates and AOL are testing a new beta email. But to prevent the threat of a class action lawsuit they are required to pay each person hundreds of dollars for each person you forward the email to and even more money to each subsequent email forwarded.
Skeptical? Don't be! The starter of this email is an attorney and she assured me that it is real. It was on America Today this morning and on the cover of USA Today. The email even contained first hand accounts of people getting their cheques. The legitimacy of this offer is undoubtedly not in question. With this new found wealth machine I stand make thousands and thousands of dollars with the click of a mouse.
So if everyone could post their emails I will send forward you this fantastic offer and we will both prosper from it's generosity. I am so confident about this that I have decided I don't need to sit at a desk anymore like a rube and I've vacated my job in the quest to make it rich with true Internet offers such as this.

I can't believe people are still sending me this crap. I first got this email probably 8 years ago and I didn't believe it then. So now do I "reply all" and send a bunch of people I don't know the
snopes link? Or do I not act like an Internet know-it-all and leave them to send it to more morans? What do you folks do when people send you scam emails?
