i've seen many emails like this one

"hotmail is going to start charging for the sevice, but if you send this message to all your contacts you will be given a free account..."

or

"hotmail has too many fake accounts so you have to send this email to a thounsand people to prove that your account is still active, otherwise it will be deleted."

and people actually do it...

I get this kind of spam email all the time, it gets a bit annoying.

I'm a grass, though - I report them as phishing scams. MWAHAHAHAHA.

You make it sound like people falling for these scams is a rare occurrence.

Also, I couldn't help but be reminded of this...
