Donations To Save One's Life?

Question

I got an email that ecourages people to send it forward to save life of babygirl(4months) who has a tumor on her brain. Apperantly it is a difficult operation that she is to undergo. NOt sure if it's curable. How sad anyways. The message just contains a photograph of the baby and provides information that the AOL comapy donates 5 cents for every sent email. It'd be nice when people would act as "voluntary donors" like this way but how the AOL records how many and where have the emails that are supposd to be forwarded been sent? Anyone any ides or this is just a fake message.

Always be very suspect of any email that starts off with "Forward to as many as you can." Its the first clue to a hoax email!

Just a quick look will always show up these scams.

Answer 2

It's a fake message. AOL does not record the movements of a single message. Once I found one that contained the name of a doctor, so I forwarded it to his office. He was very happy to have the scam exposed. I encourage you to send it back to whoever sent it to you letting them know it's a scam and you don't appreciate getting this kind of mail.

Answer 3

Definitely a fake message which attempts to get email users to propagate spam. This particular email as well as others similar have been around for years. See below for an example.
