Forward an Email-See a Person Standing on a Bridge-Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor: In the message is a beautiful picture of a
bridge in a wooded setting. The message underneath the picture says
that if you forward the message to at least 5 people a person will appear
standing on the bridge. The sender asks "Let me know if you know the
person?"
The Truth: This is one of those emails that appeals to
the notion that forwarded messages are somehow tracked and that the
Internet will know that you have forwarded it to 5 people.
The fact is that no one will appear on the bridge. Somehow people
get a kick out of creating a meaningless message that they know will get
forwarded by unknowing victims.

A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet:
Forward it to at least 5 people, a person will appear standing on
this bridge . Let me know if you know the person ? OKAY !
