Newell Email

Email scams

Is the email about the Newell Company email true -- or is it an urban legend or hoax?

Newell Email

Important, The Newell Company is trying to figure out how many people pass along those stupid e-mails along and supposedly get money.

So heres how this one works. For the next month our family has rented an e-mail tracker and we are tracking this e-mail.

So if you get this e-mail and forward it we will be able to make you very happy.

For every person you send this to you will get $399, and for every person that you sent this to who forwards this you will get $199.

Now this is not a hoax. I, Ryan Newell, thought myself that this was a hoax but I sent it to you all and ten (10) days later I got a check for $3990. I urge you to do the same.

Good luck and don't spend your money all in one place.

Editors Note: This is not true. It is technically impossible to track forwarded email.
