Yes yes yes yes. How many times am I going to get an email from supposedly smart people who think Bill Gates will be sending them a check for some stupid email forward beta test whatever? lol

At first blush, I would think it to be a scam for sure. This is something that would be uncommon for them especially at the same time. You can go on line and ask them if it is real. Live help on AOL

Has to be, why would they care who your friends are? If you recieved it via. E-mail. 100% chance its a scam. If you got it regular mail or by phone then I'd say 98% chance its a scam. I don't see how it can negatively affect you but all your friends won't be happy when the get a ton of junk e-mail.

It angers me to. If he had it he'd have it hidden somewhere. Wonder what the Dept of the Army would think of this one.
