  DO NOT BELIEVE THIS! Re: Fwd: [Fwd: Fw: IF YOU DELETE THIS U SERIOUSL DON'T HAVE A HEART]

These types of emails are always poignant but bogus 100% of the
time. It's 100% impossible for either AOL or Yahoo or anyone else
to track down how many times an email is forwarded. It can not be
done. Furthermore, there's no incentive for AOL to get email
forwarded. It only clogs the internet without benefiting the
corporation in any way.

Do not believe these emails and do not forward them. They're a poor
man's (well poor programmer's at least) equivalent of a virus. This
has been well documented in the past. Rather than delay this email
(mine) to find the reference, I'll send this now and will try to find the
email reference later but please believe me, this is not real. AOL
is not going to give someone 10 cents for every email (well 32 cents for
3 emails) sent. It just doesn't happen.
