It's true, I saw it on Oprah's show in USA Today when it was on the news ...



.. ... yeah, you probably did, and it is still crap.





I've seen a couple of posts on other forums recently from people who seem to believe forwarded emails. (one of them was the drugged business card, the other was, believe it or not, an updated version of Bill Gates is sharing...).



PLEASE. Pretty Please. With organic sustainable farm free range sugar on it...



DON'T FORWARD THIS STUFF.



you can start by checking them out here:

Examples, verification resources, fraud reporting agencies, etc.



And no, I don't make a damned dime from it, never have.
 
An updated version of Bill Gates is sharing?

I never forward anything that looks slightly dodgy. I always copy and paste part of the message into Google and see what comes back. Usually this confirms that the message is a hoax and not important.
