GAP Giveaway Hoax
May 1999
A beta test of a clothing line? I don't think so. This hoax claims that
the GAP will give you clothing if you pass the message on, but is just
another variant of the Bill Gates hoax.
Subject: FW: FREE clothes from GAP
Everyone loves free stuff!
Abercrombie & Fitch have recently merged to form the largest hottie
outfitter company in the world! In an effort to remain at pace with this
giant, the GAP has introduced a new email tracking system to determine
who has the most loyal followers. This email is a beta test of the new
clothing line and GAP has generously offered to compensate those who
participate in testing process. For each person you send this e-mail to,
you will be given a pair of cargo pants. For every person they give it
to, you will be given an additional Hawaiian print T-shirt, for every
person they send it to, you will recieve a fishermans hat!
GAP will tally all the emails produced under your name over a two week
period and then email you with more instructions. This beta test is only
for Microsoft Windows users because the email tracking device that
contacts GAP is embedded into the code of Windows 95 and 98. If you wish
to speed up the "clothes receiving process" then you can email the GAP's
P.R. rep for a free list of email addresses to try,
at....gollygap@yahoo.com
(this was forwarded to me, it's not me saying this...) I know you guys
hate forwards, but I started this a month ago.
A week ago, I got an email from the GAP asking me for my address I gave
it to them yesterday and I got a box load of mechandise in the mail from
the GAP!!!!! It really works! I wanted you to get a piece of the action,
you won't regret it
