Does someone know if this thing about aim going around is true?

Question

Because of our overloading of our servers, we are being forced to extract our non-active AIM users. Because this is a free service, AOL has exceeded the budget for the AIM service. We are asking that you send this exact message to 20 other AIM users to ensure us that you're an active AIM user. Our system tracking devise will pick up this message to keep you on our active list. You have 72 hours to complete this task or your service will be cancelled immediately. Starting January 1st, 2009, we will be charging a small fee for registering of a screen name for AIM. Thank you for your time and for using AOL or AIM. : Sincerely Mark Jenkins Sign in to AIM panel to send an IM

i've gotten that like 10 times from my friends

Answer 1

If you have friends who fell for this you need new and smarter friends.lol.

Answer 2

It's not true. If it was AIM would directly send you a message via e-mail, or via AIM (there's and account on AIM with the sn "aim.")

Answer 3

No, it's not true. It's like those chain letters that go around myspace about Tom canceling your account unless you repost the bulletin. If it was true, you would get a message directly from AIM.

Answer 4

Geesh!

I have the Brooklyn Bridge for sale.  Wanna place a bid?
