this is a scam - do not send any money

I highly doubt those forward emails are real, people just want to see how far they can spread those things, also DON'T push F8!!!! That shuts down your computer or something. They have no way to make things appear on your screen by pushing F-anything. Since you dont seem to kow much, also dont click on any links or open emails from people you dont know. I learned the hard way by getting virus that eventually let to tyhe crashing of my NEW computer.

Hi....even I have received mails in the past with the same subject matter. I dont know if it is true, but some charity based organizations do try earnestly on their part to do something for the needy and I think that it really helps sometimes.

No, that's impossible. The only way someone can possibly get free money (as I am aware of) is only going to a website and clicking something. Emails cannot be tracked.

Scam. Press F8 and something funny may appear indeed. Like: "I HAVE A FULL CONTROL OF YOUR COMPUTER NOW. YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD HACKER."

this is VERY rarely true.
usually, dont bother... there's not a great way to check up on it.
if you are curious, many of these emails are published on snopes.com and information about their validity is posted.

It's not true. Mark it as spam.

NO, don't fall for these. They are just a hoax.
