Well it appears that there’s another hoax email doing the rounds at the moment and the amount of gullible people reading it and responding to it amazes me, so far this morning I’ve had about 4-5 people send me the same email that supposedly comes from “Marks and Spencer” and Persimmon Homes” you can see the body of the email below :

“Marks & Spencers, in conjunction with Persimmon Homes, are giving awayfree vouchers. Marks & Spencers are trying word-of-mouth advertising to introduce its products and the reward you receive for advertising for them is free non-refundable vouchers to be used in any M&S store. To receive your free vouchers by e-mail all you have to do is to send this email out to 8 people (for £100 of free vouchers) or 20 people (for £500 of free vouchers). Within 2 weeks you will receive an e-mail with your vouchers attached.They will contact you through your e-mail address.”

Now as if these 2 firms are going to do this, the amount it would cost them would be astronomical when you consider that if I sent this email to 20 people and then they sent it to 20 people and then those 20 people sent it on to another 20 people, with in a matter of hours IT WOULD HAVE Snowballed out of proportion and M&S would probably be bankrupt.

So if you receive this email just delete it and maybe inform the sender that there gullible and at the same time ask them if I can borrow £100 and I promise to give it back 🙂
