Warning, AIM overload alert

[krillindb]

Has anyone received this message from a friend over AIM? :

Dear AIM users,
Because of our overloading of our servers, we are being forced to extract our non-active AIM users. Because this is a free service, AOL has exceeded the budget for the AIM service. We are asking that you send this exact message to 20 other AIM users to ensure us that you're an active AIM user. Our system tracking devise will pick up this message to keep you on our active list. You have 72 hours to complete this task or your service will be cancelled immediately. Starting September 10, 2003, we will be charging a small fee for registering of a screen name for AIM. Thank you for your time and for using AOL or AIM.



I have reason to believe that it is BS. I checked the AOL and AIM site and neither said anything about it. And the message is full of spelling and gramatical errors.

Apparently it has been floating around since at least yesterday. I think it is just some stupid pointless chain letter that some kid made to see how many people he could fool.

Just want to let everyone know, dont spread this, it's annoying and a waste of time.

Some people have way too much time on their hands. Now if people would put that to good use and make props and armor then they would be doing something worthwhile ;D ;D
