最近身边一些常玩MSN的朋友把这个在网络上转寄到乱的MSN公告电邮也寄给我,我打开看了,除了无奈傻笑,也只能感叹这些人对网络行销的不了解而被欺骗去跟着指示做。内容是这样:
This is Tara and John, the directors of MSN. We would like to sincerely apologize for the interruption, but msn is closing down. We know many of these messages have been sent out lately, and that they wouldn’t be true. However, this one is in fact true, and it will occur soon.
MSN will begin to charge you money soon.This is due to the fact that too many inconsiderate people are taking up all the names (ie. making up lots of different accounts for just one person). Therefore, we only have 578 names left. If you would like to close your account, DO NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE ON. We would not reccommend this, because if in the future you’d like to use MSN, and you don’t send this message on, you will be CHARGED to use MSN monthly. If you would like to keep your account, then SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. As we said this before, this is no joke, and we will be shutting down the servers. Please send it on. We do not want to be receiving phone calls stating that your MSN will not open, or that you are being charged for using it - because this will be your fauly for not sending it on. The estimated cost for MSN monthly will be about ten dollars CAN.
SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. NOW YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. In case you believed this is yet another of those ‘prank’ MSN shut down emails, go to: Address removed. Once you’ve sent this message to at least 18 contacts, your msn icon will become blue.Regards,
Tara and John

拜托,用你清醒的脑袋想想,这么庞大的IT公司,竟然使用这么烂的电邮内容,还align center?!? (把字编排在中间)而且还maroon color?(猪肝红色)还用“MSN account”或”Hotmail account”而不是完整的“Microsoft MSN”/”Microsoft Hotmail”为主题。而且结尾还
”Tara and John

我的天,竟然有人会信?算了,我能明白你的焦虑,但请你在把我的电邮加入前,为我想一想,这么烂的公告电邮的可信度好不好?我知道它有附带一篇由BBC News的新闻连接:

但麻烦你去读清楚内容再了解一下到底是不是与该电邮内容有关好不好?如果你看不懂,可以尝试使用Google Translate,就算是直接的翻译,内容也与删除MSN帐号无关啊~
太多人不了解online marketing的运作,所以他们照指示做,却不知在这背后有人在收集你们的电邮,并且把这些电邮作为商业用途来赚取盈利,比如把电邮的资料库卖给那些有兴趣做online marketing的买家,本地就有一家,我暂不告发,Google自己会对付他们。
劝你下次清醒点,不清楚可以来信问我,不然上当的是你。害的是我,因为我却要收到更多的垃圾邮件!!
