Is It True?

Hey everyone,
I looked on the Tinternet and it looks spookily true.
On the 1st of november , we will have to pay for the use of our MSN and email accounts unless we send this message to at least 18 contacts on your contact list.
Is it a joke?
Apparently, once you've sent this message to at least 18 contacts , your msn dude will become blue.
Anybody know anything about this?
TIA

Ps. To the mods: if this is not posted in the right part of MSE then please move. Thanx

Most probably a scam or somebody trying to harvest email addresses to sell.
If it came to that, just use Google Mail and Yahoo Messenger!0 -
Agree with WoA. No legit company would ask us to do that or charge us!Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.0
