Es, siempre, muy curioso enfrentarte a un nuevo rumor que, a pesar de la falta de veracidad, siempre se asegura es cierto. "Me lo ha contado un amigo que dice que le sucedió a un amigo de su amigo..." . Pero cuando tratamos de localizar a ese principal amigo, nunca aparece.
A este tipo de historia se las conoce como Leyendas Urbanas y las hay de todos los tipos, colores, gustos y sabores que se quieran. Desde leyendas que nos hablan de especies de insectos de otros países plants coming in, brutal gangs initiations arrivals from foreign countries, human body parts found in soft drinks bottles, strange mists that lead us to places far away, we talk about distances, even thousands of miles, or ghosts that appear lost in some corner of a lonely road.
But today, the technology is within reach of every hand and every mind, you're legends arrive, usually by means of email. Chain letters, bogus email which notifies the closing of any network, e-xenophobic where the message is sent from someone coming from outside that makes fun of how simple is rich in our country, etc, etc, etc.
Now if one of the ones I like is that message that comes to you with the image of a sweet child who, unfortunately, suffers from some strange disease. Within the message with full details of the child's personal data and, almost, his medical history. We are told also that if the message is forwarded, each referral will be reciprocated with a small amount of money that a company will pay for the cure disinterested or investigation of the strange disease.
If we look in more detail see the company in question used to be a U.S. citizen. The hospital that conducted the study or a cure, too, belongs to this country. And it is extremely absurd to pay that company directly not wait to get treatment and the thousands of e necessary to add that amount. What are some horny with a sense of humor? "Let's wait and see what happens . If the child emails arrive will be saved, but the dinar will going to give pleasure."
But the most thorny is when we realize that the photo of the child is repeated in several emails we have received. My God! In addition to the child's name changed from nacionalidad, de población y de enfermedad en cada mensaje nuevo. ¿Pero qué le pasa a este niño/a? ¿Qué lo pilla todo él/ella? ¡Tremendo!
Lo gracioso de estos mensajes es lo que todos ya intuimos: que este pobre infante no padece ninguna enfermedad (hay mensajes que aparecen con la imagen de algún niño discapacitado o con alguna malformación, que por desgracia, estos pobres niños sí que lo padecen).
Estos mensajes son enviados, el mensaje inicial, por alguien contratado por alguna empresa. Empresa que sí que paga una cantidad por mensaje que se consigue reenviar. Pero el dinero no va a parar a la cuenta de ayuda del niño, más it goes to the account of the face that creates the message. In this way the company what they get is a lot of emails with spam may overwhelm or spam also known.
is how does this curious fraud that does nothing but litter the mailbox e-mail account or even introduce the odd virus. And as humans are as sensitive and yet so innocent, it forwards the message to your entire contact list. So child = 0 Company = 1.
To top it off I will tell you that I like to keep as curious messages smell as they are legends, and there was one that made me laugh endlessly. It was a message like the example detailed above. But this time he was the son of one of the coworkers. It is clear that the partner was not named in the message, but the image of his son if he was in the mail. What a tremendous surprise when that boy was just like the child of another email that was archived. So Pete, now called Manolito, X did not have the disease, but rather the disease and not the son of a fellow, the son of another man and living in another country. Poor children!
best thing was that mail was sent to me another co-worker and that if I knew him quite well. INOCENTEEEEEEE!
