Chances are if you’ve used email in any kind of way you’ll no doubt come across chain letters. As a message that’s been forwarded along “a million times”, we’ve all had to come to terms with this annoyance assuming that you dislike it of course. Well, according to numerous Xbox Live members they’ve been hit with a multitude of messages of the following:
The messages only include the 900 and MS point symbol, of which most Xbox Live and Zune users should be very aware of. Much like the “Make Xbox Live free” in your motto shenanigans that made the rounds around Xbox Live sometime ago, this time around XBL members are to believe that if they forward the above message their Xbox Live account will be accredited with 900 MS points. Likely to come from friends and strangers alike, you may be next to receive this message if you haven’t already. Either way, it’s official. There’s nowhere to hide from spam.
Have you received this message rather from a friend or complete stranger?

I got one from someone on my friends list. Couldn't figure out why he sent it but now I know. It's because hes gullible.

I have gotten it as well. Sometimes it just says 900 (MSP) while other times it will have a message telling me to forward it as well. Some friends try to make me forward it but I just delete it. Also, if you get while playing a game, they say the points come from the creators (got one telling me Bungie sends the MSP when it is forwarded 20 times). Bungie is affiliated with Halo 3 and not the general XLE messaging system and therefore would have nothing to do with 900 free MSP from forwarding messages. Same with any game developer. My best advice to those whom receive them are to delete them. Delete them and warn your friends. Tell them that it is a hoax and don't believe any reason they give. Tell them to delete theirs and to quit spamming them to you and to others. Warn them that you may remove them from your friends list (even if you have no intention of it). It needs to be put to rest that this is completely a hoax started by someone who was bored and maybe, just maybe, wanted to see how fast one message ould be sent to everyone.
