352903 2005-05-06 23:56:00 I've received 4 of these messages this morning, I thought it was a hoax as soon as I got it. What a waste of network resources and a great boost to Vodafone's SMS earnings. Sb0h (3744)

352907 2005-05-07 01:49:00 The only reason why there's this hoax is because it's now free to send on weekends... Onbiously, the original parankster wanted to play a joke based on that...

I laugh at my friend's stupidity for believing in that.....

352910 2005-05-07 02:31:00 i send them all off to 20 people i wasnt sure at the time (it did have spelling mistakes and crud grammar) if it was fake , i wasnt gona miss out on $50 if it was!This is why people continue to forward on crap like JDBGMGR, SULFNBK, OMG IF YOU FORWARD THIS TO ELEVENTEEN PEOPLE BILL GATES WILL GIVE YOU A CHEQUE type e-mails. If you're not sure and decide to forward it on then you're a bigger idiot than those that actually believed it was real.

For each idiot that sends it on, it reaches 20 other people. Depending on how many of the people you sent it to are also idiots, you've just instigated up to 400 more idiotic texts. This then carries on ad nauseum, til it gets to someone like me that texts back "It's a hoax you moron" to every idiot that sends it to me.

Seen as voodafone seem to be givin away alot of credit for free lately...Umm no they haven't :illogical
