the other day, i got this message over aim from my buddy teej:
dear aim users,
because of our overloading of our servers, we are being forced to extract our non-active aim users. because this is a free service, aol has exceeded the bidget for the aim service. we are asking that you send this exact message to 20 other users to ensure us that you're an active aim user. our system tracking devise will pick up this message to keep you on our active list. you have 72 hours to complete this task or your service will be cancelled immediately. starting january 1st, 2005, we will be charging a small fee for registering of a screen name for aim. thank you for your time and for using aol or aim.
sincerely,
mark jenkins
they mispelled "service." the english is horrible. there is no way aol could track the twenty messages. if their servers are already overloaded, every stupid user sending out twenty messages willy-nilly would most definitely
not help. i could go on, but i won't.
teej ole pal, i'd say ya got duped.
