# its the lure of free alcohol.
And I always wonder.

For instance, last month I got something I thought was spam. It was to do with getting a refund on my monthly tube ticket. I thought it couldnt possibly be real, as the amount I would get refunded was more than the outlay for my tickets.

Everyone else in the office who got has £120 in their back pocket now, and will get more next month.

# ALERTE ! chaine e-mail
Circule actuellement sur le Net une opération promotionnelle concernant l'offre gratuite d'une caisse de 6 bouteilles de champagne Veuve Clicquot.

Ceci est un canular totalement indépendant de notre volonté, et dont nous ne sommes bien évidemment pas l'auteur.

Nous avons alerté les services de la répression des fraudes français.



Bien à vous,

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

Excuse my French.

# BABELFISH.ALTAVISTA SAYS:
ALARM! chains e-mail
Currently Circulates on the Net a promotional operation concerning the free offer of a case of 6 champagne bottles Veuve Clicquot.
This is a hoax completely independent of our will, and of which we are obviously not the author.

We alerted the Fraud Squads French.

Yours sincerely,

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

**Or, via german, portugese, and spanish:**

TO ALARM!
The chains of the email to momentarily work it in the network that an operation of the propaganda with respect to supplies exempts of verwitwete Champán Clicquot of the bottles of drawer 6.

This one is totally independent of our will to cannular, and of which we are not obvious the author.

We alarmed the French services of the persecution of the fraud.

Well in you,

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

# load of shite!!
as usual another suffers under the crap spam/chain mails of the net.
about 1 in a million of these are true all they do is slow down email traffic - don't forward, it's not big or clever.

If i ever met the twunt who created any of them i'll bloody rip off his head and spit down his neck.
