Lionel Posted October 23, 2003 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Ever wondered if anyone makes the money promised in those work-at-home advertisements? Or if each forwarded e-mail will really mean a donation of 10 cents from Microsoft to an orphan's organ-transplant operation? The answer is no. These stories are urban legends, e-mail rumors and scams. They are but a few of what we like to call financial fiction. The following are some of the most popular and most creative examples waiting in in-boxes. Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceyKC Posted October 23, 2003 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I remember getting one of those Nigerian Letters. I had just gotten my computer and it was one of the first 'unknowns' I learned to be aware of. I think the scams like that are not nice at all.
