Do you know that if you send an email to Andy.curran@persimmonhomes.com he will give you a free yacht, an aeroplane, $10000000000000000000000 and will personally build you a 3000 room mansion in the location of your choice. And he will do all your laundry. Forever.
Sounds like rubbish? Of course it is! So why do people fall for the following:
Marks & Spencers, in conjunction with Persimmon Homes, are giving away free 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. Please mark a copy to: Andy.curran@persimmonhomes.com
Why would M&S give you vouchers for sending a few emails - especially £500? Why would one guy at Persimmon Homes want thousands and thousands of emails where you tell your friends about this deal?
It is spam. Stop sending it on.
BTW, you have to feel sorry for Andy Curran either:
- He really annoyed someone and this was their revenge by flooding his inbox
- This was his idea and he wanted to see how many mails he got. He deserves to be fired if that is the case.
