As seen on...

Not a week goes by that I don't get an e-mail from a friend or acquaintance that tells me how I can get money from AOL, Microsoft, Yahoo! or some other big-name computer industry corporation just by forwarding some e-mail. Obviously these people have never heard of the website www.snopes.com.

What makes it even funnier is that they seem to think that this is a legit scheme because someone claims to have seen it on the "Today" show, or "Nightline," or maybe it was "60 Minutes." It's amazing how gullible some people can be, that just because it supposedly comes from a supposedly reputable source... well, that doesn't always mean it's the gospel truth.
