Here is something everyone should read. If you don't, you're hurting yourself and your email buddies. Please read right to the bottom. By now, I suspect everyone is familiar with www.snopes.com<http://www.snopes.com/> and/or www.truthorfiction.com<http://www.truthorfiction.com/> for determining whether information received via email is just that: true/false or fact/fiction. Both are excellent sites. Advice from Snopes.com<http://snopes.com/> Very important! 1) Any time you see an E-Mail that says forward this to '10' of your friends, sign this petition or you'll get bad luck, good luck, you'll see something funny on your screen after you send it, whatever, it almost always has an E-Mail tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and E-Mails of those folks you forward to! The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of 'active' E-Mail addresses to use in SPAM E-Mails, or sell to other spammers. Even when you get emails that tells you to send the email on if you're not ashamed of God/Jesus .... that's E-mail tracking! They're playing on our conscience! These people don't care how they get your email addresses - just as long as they get them. Also, emails that talk about a missing child or a child with an incurable disease 'how would you feel if that was your child' .....E-mail Tracking!!! Ignore them! Don't participate! 2) Almost all E-Mails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that 'mass letter' years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards. All that was to get names and 'cookie' tracking information for telemarketers and spammers - to validate active E-Mail accounts for their own profitable purposes. You can do your friends and family members a GREAT favor by sending this information to them; you will be providing a service to your friends, and will be rewarded by not getting thousands of spam E-Mails in the future! If you have been sending out (FORWARDING) the above kinds of E-Mail, now you know why you get so much SPAM! Do yourself a favour and STOP adding your name(s) to those types of listings regardless how inviting they might sound, or make you feel guilty if you don't .. it's all about getting email addresses - nothing more! One email doing the rounds, for the thrid time, is whales being killed on a beach in Denmark. Email address of every one who forwarded that are now with the spammers! You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause - YOU ARE NOT! Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later and very possibly a virus attached! Plus, you are helping the spammers get rich. Also: E-Mail petitions are NOT acceptable to the White House, Congress, UNESCO, UNICEF or any such organizations. To be acceptable, petitions must have a signed signature and full address of the person signing the petition. so this is a waste of time and you're just helping the Email trackers. AND MOST IMPORTANT: don't forget... * Delete other people's e-mail addresses on the e-mails you send out. * When forwarding/sending- send as BCC: DISCLAIMER: Notice : This e-mail and any attachments may contain information which is confidential to the addressee and may also be privileged. If you are not the intended recipient of this e-mail, you may not copy, forward, disclose or otherwise use it in any way whatsoever. If you have received this e-mail by mistake, please e-mail the sender by replying to this message, and deleting the original and any printout thereof. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BETTER PERSONALITY GROUP" group.
