Bill Gates Email Tracking chain letter
This is a chain letter. Although this one is not related to viruses
at all, we list it here as it has become seriously widespread.
Here's an example of the chain letter.
Subject: PLEASE READ! YOULL BE GLAD YOU DID!
[email protected]/Track883432/~TraceActive/On.html
Hello Everyone, And thank you for signing up for my Beta Email Tracking
Application or (BETA) for short. My name is Bill Gates. Here
at Microsoft we have just compiled an e-mail tracing program
that tracks everyone to whom this message
is forwarded to. It does this through an unique IP
(Internet Protocol) address log book database.
We are experimenting with this and need your help.
Forward this to everyone you know and if it reaches
1000 people everyone on the list you will receive
$1000 and a copy of Windows98 at my expense.
Enjoy. Note: Duplicate entries will not be
counted. You will be notified by email with
further instructions once this email has reached
1000 people. Windows98 will not be shipped unitl
it has been released to the general public.
Your friend,
Bill Gates & The Microsoft Development Team.
This is a complete hoax. There is no way to track e-mail like this.
Do not forward the message.
