Breaker breaker, my sister's kid forwarded me this email that says Bill Gates is personally sendin $5000 to everyone who forwards it to 20 people. Like the man's sittin at his computer watchin FWD counts like he's got nothin better to do I seen these things since the CB days - "send this to 10 people or you'll have bad luck for 7 years" - same snake oil, different decade What gets me is MamaBear_2006 actually sent this to me like it was gospel. Mama, I love ya sister, you got more test data on Euclid pole three than half this board combined, and you're fallin for THIS? Forwardin chain mail in '06 is like bringin a payphone to a cell tower Anyhow I ain't forwardin it to 20 people, I'm forwardin it HERE so y'all can laugh at it with me Over and out.

the actual payload is usually a perl one-liner that pings an ip range and installs a rootkit. the money part is just social engineering to get you to click the attachment. check the headers for x-originating-ip. if it resolves to a residential isp in nebraska, delete it.

also bill gates doesn't give away money. he buys companies and patents. this is literally the opposite of how capital works.
