Hi. I am, Michele Cordova,  the founder of Bath & Body Works and I want your
business.  We are trying a new advertising campaign through the power of
YOU, the consumer.  In order for this to
work, you need to send this e-mail to 13 people and I know that is not a
lucky number but that is the number we need in order for this to work. Our
computer tracking system will keep count of how many people you send it to
so don't feel like you have to send it to thirteen people all at once.  You
may not send it to the same person more than once unless you internet pals
accidently delete the message, we wouldn't want them to miss out on this
great offer. To compensate you for your hard work, we are going to send you
a $50 dollar gift certificate redeemable in any store nationwide.  This is
not a joke,it will be your loss if you don't send this to 13 PEOPLE.

Thanks again!

Michele Cordova

Founder of Bath & Body Works

Obviously a hoax. It looks like a bot got my address from somewhere- any other
lugnetters get this one? I think it may have been from here because one
is "lego". I think a 'bot because one still has a spamblock in it.

This (lego@poindexter.cc) is mine.  I use it on Lugnet and RTL for my
newsreader.  I use different email addresses all over the place to find where
people got my email address.  I had tried to use lugnet@poindexter.cc, but
Todd jumped my case and that ended that.

I don't know if they harvested here or RTL, but I would suspect RTL as the
place.  I also send Nicole an email telling her that these things are internet
IQ tests and she just failed hers and now everybody in her list knows it.  I
did notice that there were 13 or so people in the mail list.

Just curious. I sent Nicole a nice message about how there has yet to be one
of these that wasn't a hoax- if it wasn't Bill Gates would have sent me to
Disney World and Miller would have sent me a six pack of beer!

(...) Mike, you say you didn't use that address here? I've never been on RTL, so I'm trying to figure out what the other common thread could be. Lego.com or fellow lugneteer Tony's "From Bothans to Bricks" website, where I signed the guestbook. I (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
