Forward Dis Mail for da Little Child ----AOL Pays 5 Cents for Doing So

Sounds like a scam to me. No big company will let this pass them by. Someone is playing a very freaking sick joke. I hope they go to hell for this. TATA.

for some reason, i've been getting so many of those emails lately...i wish there was a way i can get of those mailing lists that i don't even know i'm on.. but if i can choose one teddy bear, i know which one i want

Bro, I wouldn't be surprised if there are people believing that this kind of scam is true. There are lots of scams out there that we might not know of, and it's really sad knowing that people are scamming others for their own beneficial means..

scam...

its a scam.. its like that one that used to go around where you forward it and you get a new computer lol.. they have no way of tracking it so how would aol know how much to give? if it does have a way to track you then that means it has spyware or a virus which isnt good either!

maybe i am just a fool. i had ever get that kind email. and i forwarded to my friends...u can guess what is happening to me next

it's a scam. it's one that's been doing the rounds in one form or another for years. and you're right, that would be a better way to do something good straight up without stupid conditions. most importantly though. it's THIS and THE. Dis and Da makes you sound like a pathetic teenager pretending to be a rapper or something equally ridiculous.

I ignore such emails because there are enough needy people in my own community whose circumstances are known to all and therefore there is no worry about whether they are a hoax or not. If it sounds like a scam it probably is. So like you I would not send such a thing to others.

hi sunny, i haven't come across these kinds of mails, but what i just saw are just mails asking to forward the message for a cause and not really to raise money. here in my place, i think there's also things like this, but its through text messaging and i remember myself sending a message. well i send a message back then coz i believe that its not a scam since i saw it in one program that i am always watching on tv, they feature a life story of this one child who suffers from certain disease and they said that if we want to help, just text to this number with their formatted message, and so i do. i'm happy to help even in such a small way and i am even happier when they show on the program that they have raise this amount through that text messaging and the child is doing better now... with what you got there, well im not really sure but if its a scam, its too sad that there are people using the misfortune of others for their own sake.

I think it's a scam. And it's an old one. I've received many emails such as this before. Too many times that I can't even count. I disregard them. But at first, I did make an effort forwarding them to everyone I know because I said to myself, I'm not gonna lose anything anyway whether I forward this or not. And in case it's true, at least I've done my part and I can say to myself I've done a good thing.

I totally understand what you are saying...why wouldn't aol just help the child themselves? I really think these type of forwarding chain letters are super annoying. I ignore these types of letters as well because they are scams and/or fake and people do not have nothing better to do. It is very sad.

The blond got it right!!! That's the news!!! No big company has that kind of system. :) Remember Nigerians with lotteries from Microsoft? They are getting your email address, and there are ample software programs now to get your password from that. All your paypal and stuff would be in that email, easy to pull information. Of course, if you are a sucker - what can I say!!!

There are reasons why AOL does this when they could afford to pay for the medication fully. By requesting the baby's parents to send out the email and requesting it to be forwarded it goes to show that the baby's parents are genuinely interested to seek medication, have equally undertaken responsibility and own that as well. It's a good thing that society is involved as well as the email passes hands. A developed society may also be seen not only on their material accomplishment but also on how well they take care of each other. I've had emails like this before with every fact pointing them to be genuine. And I have happily participated in by forwarding the email.
