Daddy Bear Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 My mother sent me this email today; I clicked on the link and it appears to be legit. The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. link removed Don't forget to come right back to ENA! Link to comment
Grosse vache Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 It is legitimate. I would encourage as many people to do this as possible. Link to comment
Newo Ikkin Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Done done and done. And that shall be done every day. For Karen, for Nana, for Auntie Jean...for all those who have suffered from any angle...and god forbid, possibly for myself one day. Link to comment
shes2smart Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 link removed says..... it's true. Details: link removed Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I've seen the site before too. It is legit. I just always find it a bit strange that they can only give away free mammograms if people "click"....why not give them away just for the sake of it? Oh well, clicking is easy enough I guess....but again I find the concept of "having to click" odd. It all comes down to the sponsers I guess- BellaDonna Link to comment

shes2smart Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 D'oh! I can't believe I forgot to give it the Snopes test. Thanks for the verification, s2s. I work with some people who still believe every e-mail that comes down the pike. link removed is sometimes a daily destination.... Link to comment
Daddy Bear Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 I work with some people who still believe every e-mail that comes down the pike. link removed is sometimes a daily destination....My mom is a brilliant, scholarly lady, but she's so trusting that she falls for those regularly. She sent the 'criminals putting a piece of paper on your car's back window and then killing you when you get out to remove it' one to about two dozen people... erf! Why wouldn't they just kill you as you were getting in?? link removed passed my smell test when I saw all the well-known, legitimate advertisers, but it was still sloppy of me not to snopesify it, considering how many times I've mentioned that resource here on ENA alone.
