Dear Yahoo,
I am pasting some "YAHOO MAIL" that I got recently too prove that I am not making this horrible story up!
About a week ago, I clicked on a [RED LOBSTER] link that promised to give me $50.00 coupon. I was then locked into and "endless loop" that would not let me go until I selected one of MANY advertisers trying to sell me something. Nowhere was a $50.00 COUPON! I was extremely angry.
exhausted trying to escape the loop, I finally just unplugged my computer hoping that would clear the {NETFLIX} DVD's that I had clicked on ... but then I could NOT unclick for some reason. Unplugging did not help. I was stuck with four movies that I really did not want and CERTAINLY did not want to join the rental club "NETFLIX".
I just got the movie 'BULLIT" in the mail. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take me out of "NETFLIX" WITHOUT being charged and send me the $50.00 coupon that I was led to believe I was getting.
I cannot believe that Yahoo would condone this.
thank you

Giveaway hoaxes go into great detail describing the wealth that you will receive from some big company if you would only send their message to everyone that you know. What they fail to say is how the big company would even know that you have sent on these messages to anyone, let alone the reason that they would even be willing to bankroll such a giveaway. There is no such thing as "e-mail tracking." No person or company is paying out money, or giving away gift certificates, to people who forward chain letters. Everything in these messages is absurd!

You don't get something for nothing! There's always a catch to all of the "free" internet offers. They offer you a free card for X# of $ but you have to complete certain steps toward getting that so-called free card that usually entails separation of you and su dinero! Usually the outfits that do this stuff use Red Lobster, Starbuck's, and other companies' gift cards. The fine print usually says that there is no affiliation between the companies who issued the gift cards and the company pulling the scam. (If you ever see that notice, back off fast.)
