I just got a message on 360 saying that you have to send a message to keep your account?

Question

Here. This is what I got:

> > This is Yahoo President Jay Russell, I am sorry to announce that Yahoo has reached its maximum number of accounts two million. If you would like to keep your account for free send this to everyone on your list. This way we can know which accounts are being used and which accounts we can delete. Send this within 8 days and your account will remain free. Once again I am sincerely sorry that I have to do this. Please start sending. Jay Russell, Yahoo Management Renee: WHOEVER DOESN'T SEND THIS MESSAGE YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DEACTIVATED AND IT WILL COST $10.00 A MONTH TO USE IT! TO SEND 2 EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST, RIGHT CLICK ON YOUR GROUP DO NOT DELETE

You think they're kidding? =//

Answer 1

i'm pretty sure this is just a chain letter. they happen all the time. i don't know why you would get deleted for not forwarding it for him. he would just email everyone on yahoo. and i haven't gotten it. nor would i pass it on if i did.

Answer 2

This is a scam. Not from Yahoo. Don't send it to anyone it could release a virus to all you send it to. It is not wise to even open these things to read them it sends a message back to the scammers that your account is alive and active. Then they sell your address to other scammers and your email gets bombarded forever. Just mark this as Spam. Your account is not going to get deactivated and you don't have to send any money. It's like those scams about the sick child a few years ago asking for 3 cents per email you send. The child is still the same age and is still alive if there ever was one.

Answer 3

it's just hoaxes and spam to keep the drama going, nothing real about it at all.

Answer 4

I have received the same message on my I M before, and I didn't do it, and I still have instant messenger so I doubt there is anything to it
