I recieved this from a friend of mine, but have been unable to confirm its source:

Its a fakie, I've seen that letter before, maybe about a year ago, the sending to 20 people gives it away, more like a chain letter/spam mail.

Agree with boxcarracer, AOL probably wouldn't set a number (20 people) for you to send it to, if it was real I would guess that AOL knows who's active.

AOL makes too much money to charge money for AIM. That would be almost ludacris if they would charge for something that had been. If would be like the RIAA making CD's free or something! hahaha

being that the word device is spelled "devise" i would assume it is a fake.

AOL wouldn't charge for AIM. Hell, I have about $600 worth of AOL Trial CDs from past years. I'd just send those to them and tell them to resend them to save them money...

This email is an obvious hoax as was siad earlier. AOL would surely know who was active and who was not. |
