    Hello Dper's,

    I don't know whether its the correct place to post this thread. If its not, I request to admin to please move into appropriate forum.

    Today Morning I got a forwarded email from one of my friend with some photos of a ill affected child. The email message was as follow:

    "The mother is 29 years old her baby girl by the name of "Manuela" has a very rare disease and she needs to have an operation done.

    But her parents are really helpless right now and they can not afford to pay the total monies for the operation at this moment.

    That is why....we ask your help to save the valued life of this little baby angel please.

    NO NEED to send money.....Just to forward this e-mail to as many as your friends you can.

    When you send/forward this mail to at least three (03) people....she will get 32 cents per e-mail.

    So, Please have a heart and help this innocent family.

    We all get-together & start to make our contribution to save the life of this lovely sweet little angel baby girl, Manuela......!

    God Bless you all...... "



    He was saying in the mail, if I forward that mail to 3 people, the childs mother get 32 cents.

    I'm wondering how it would be possible?
    Is it a scam or any type of marketing?
    I think someone getting some +point from these types of mails.
    What do you think?

    I've never come across one of these "forward and you get $$$" that's actually been legitimate. It sounds like a chain letter email.
