MSN closes?!?!?!?

[abe is now!]

Is MSN going to close? I received a strange e-mail (I've translate the message, it could be wrong): "Hello, excuse for the disturbance, is serious.
msn it closes () its so to speak portini. the reason: too many persons “waste� the names, several names only for one person.
we have still only 583 names on hand. if you want to leave to close yours account… you also make but if you want to conserve it she sends to all the contacts of your list this mail.questo is not one joke. they want to close the sever. please she sends it. TO THAT THEY WILL NOT SEND THIS MAIL CLOSED VERRÃ* AHEAD the CONTACT AND THEY WILL COME to IT CREDITS 10,00 EURO to YOU OF EXPENSES. THEREFORE SENT THIS MAIL TO ALL THE CONTACTS OF YOUR LIST. please not to cliccare on forwards but copy and glue the text in one new mail. 1 November they will begin with this operation… sendes to this message at least 18 persone.non is a joke… if creeds you do not go to us on (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1189119.stm) hello."
Is this a blunder or is serious?

Do you realy think are going to close? Have you tryed going on Msm?

[abe is now!]

Yes, I think it's possible there are only 583 contacts, because too many people use more contacts. When 583 nick name will be uses MSN can close.

Are you kidding?

They're harvesting email addresses for use in illegal spamming.

Alcar...

I received this e-mail from one of my MSN contacts, I've searched in google informations about it, and I found an e-mail received by a guy: he received that e-mail from Andy and John, the directors of MSN. If you want I can add the message.
I am not sure MSN is going to close, but I am scared: I love MSN!!!

[Zozo the Zrilufet]

I seriously doubt it would close, its too popular. And how do you know the guys are the directors of MSN and aren't actually lying?

[Havoc]

Just spam dude, try to regonize it when you see it.

[abe is now!]

It could be spam, but I find in Internet MICROSFOT WANT TO CLOSE THE CHAT: http://www.hwtweakers.net/postp16194.html (excuse me, you have to translate it with google))
If MSN doesn't close, it's possible we have to pay for use hotmail! So I sent the message to 18 contacts.

[Marvak]

Hah. I got that email myself -well, similar, it was in english- about five months ago.

I ignored it.

[Devilz Daughter]

What! that's crasy pay for the us of Hotmail!!

[abe is now!]

We can ignore it, but what about dadecarlo@hotmail.it (don't accept it)? If someone accept this contact, he take a virus that "destroys" his PC, then he can't use it. Someone thought it wasn't virus, so accepted the contact and took a virus. And all of his contacts took the virus too.
So, we have to take steps.

[Jordan]

I got one of those months ago. Just ignore the thing.

You will have to imagine it spelt with a 'ph', of course...

[abe is now!]

You can search in Internet informations: MSN could close, much peope think it is a blunder but I think it is possible because much people use much MSN contact.

[Devilz Daughter]

If Microsfot do want to close it down it's because it's to populr for thir own dam good.

[abe is now!]

There too much persons who are enrolled in MSN, and some people don't use one account but plus account. So, or MSN become to payment or.... its possible that MSN closes.

MSN is not going to close, MSN chats where closed a LONG time ago due to too many pedo's using them, just like yahoo chats where down for that reason a while ago.
If the MSN network shuts down then there are plenty more you can use, and for that reason m$ are in competition with the others, it isnt going to close/shutdown. If they shut down their IM network a lot of people would hate them, plus it would be like they're letting skype/yahoo/aol/aim/irc win

2 people here can't spell microsoft

The ones who believe this are idiots, take five minutes out of your time to consider this logically, never contribute to mass hysteria. If you carefully look at the link given in the first post is dated "Sunday, 25 February, 2001, 11:00 GMT", six years ago, it. To make it even more obvious that it is a hoax, the email is not even sent by Hotmail Staff! The MSN email address is added to your contacts list when you join, you would know if Hotmail staff had sent you an email.

Also, if you go to the link given, there is another link directly to the left saying "Thousands fall for hotmail prank". Click on the link and read the story. You should now feel like an idiot. You're welcome.

BTW Laser, you're a moron.

[Leto]

he received that e-mail from Andy and John, the directors of MSN

HAHAHA. Fucking fell for that one. Tricked a lot of people in my last year of school that one did.

People believing spam. lol.

[OANST]

Just close this thread, please. Let's not give people the opportunity to make asses out of themselves by ranting about how dumb someone is for believing an email.

[Hobo]

Sorry to bump but this thread is hilarious. Might even sticky it
