Old Navy

Is the email about getting a $25 gift certificate from the founder of Old Navy true -- or is it an urban legend or hoax?

Old Navy

Dear Old Navy Shopper,

I am Laura Thimis, the founder of Old Navy. As you know, there has been some promotion things going on with Abercrombie and Fitch and The Gap. Now I want to be part of the Internet promotion "gig."

For every 10 people that you send this to, you get a free $25.00 gift card for any Old Navy store, in any part of the world, from the USA to China, from Iceland to Paris!!

Make sure that you send this to lots and lots and lots of people!!!

After you send this to at least 10 people, you will receive your free Old Navy gift card in 2-4 weeks!!! Watch the mail!!

Editors Note: First: email tracking programs do NOT exist! And Old Navy is a subsidiary of The Gap so why would they be competing against each other?
