All mi can seh is tek everyting yu hear & read wid a grain a salt. Mi nuh know if it true or not , all mi know is mi read dat same email inna di summer, & in dem time deh it neva come from LyricDVD. And what's more. mi get dem email deh same time as email bout if mi fwd somethin to all of mi friend dem mi woulda get a check from microsoft & another email weh seh if mi send somebody something else...well I think unnu shoulda get di picture, they're called HOAX's & they've been around fi as long as email has. Don't be gullable & mek dem draw unnu inna dem game. If yu nah believe, jus do a Google search for "Popular Internet Hoax" & see what's out there.
P.S.---It's probably a good idea to stop forwarding "Jokes Of The Day", "Prayers Of The Day", "Funny Pics", "Funny Poem", "This Family Needs Help", "Warning" etc., not because they could contain viruses & worms, (which they do), but because everytime yu forward it, somebody within that list, is a SPAMMER, now they got your email addy, & those of all your friends!!!

Ah, the lure (or should I say "lore") of free money. Most of us suspect it's a load of bunk, but, since e-mail is so easy to forward, we try it anyway. We're so predictable, and this one proves the hoaxters have given up on originality. But even a recycled hoax is still a hoax.
Subject: Gift Certificate from Applebees
My name is Bill Palmer, founder of Applebees. In an attempt to get our name out to more people in the rural communities where we are not currently located, we are offering a $50 gift certificate to anyone who forwards this email to 9 of their friends. Just send this email to them and you will receive an email back with a confirmation number to claim your gift certificate.
Hey guys, DONT DELETE THIS EMAIL It really works, I tried it and got my Gift certificate confirmation number in 3 minutes.
Before you get your mouth set on that sizzling steak fajita or riblet platter, consider this chain's near identical resemblance to earlier "offers" supposedly from Cracker Barrel and Victoria's Secret.
Yes, Bill Palmer was one of the founders of Applebees, but that's the only accurate item in this chain. Applebees has prominently posted a notice on their web site since at least 2002 that denies the company has any involvement in any such offer:
I received an email that said I should forward the message to receive free Applebee's® gift certificates. Is this for real?
No. A fraudulent email chain message promising Applebee's® gift certificates for forwarding the message is currently making its way around the Internet. The message promises a gift certificate and a confirmation number after forwarding the message to a specific number of email addresses. Applebee's® International, Inc. does not sponsor or endorse this activity and is unable to fulfill these requests.
Similarly, any inquiry to their customer service department through their web site is confirmed with an e-mail that contains further denial of the chain letter's claims:
If you are contacting us about an e-mail you received promising a free $50 gift certificate for forwarding it to nine other people, please be advised that the e-mail is a hoax. It was not started by Applebee's and there is no validity to its false promise. Unfortunately, it is extremely easy for someone to begin this type of scam. We know of several other large companies ( i.e. Microsoft, Cracker Barrel) who have had similar e-mails started without their knowledge too.
Companies do not give things away via e-mail. There is simply no return on the investment. Restaurants like Applebees want to get you into their neighborhood eateries, thus they've designed an attractive web site that highlights their menu, features and services. They've spent a good amount of money on this site and want you to visit. Any e-mail you get purporting to be from a recognizable company that doesn't invite you to their web site can safely be dismissed as a hoax. The whole of the Internet is a powerful marketing tool, but e-mail alone is relatively ineffective. Break this Chain.
First..dat shit fake... second....I dunno how he manages to stay in business...guess bootlegging in Canada not a big deal unless it some garbage hollywood blockbuster film.
lastly....you think "Queen Raj" gets this shit from leeching at sites like this??? no....someone is leaking all the releases to him from the scene or he has paid for access.

Got this e-mail from time & while I think it's not true, it wouldn't surprise me if he did say something along those lines. My friend called him up & while he's friendly he's also very arrogant & willing to spill the beans about where he was getting his stuff from. What can you do when artists are supporting him by recording jingles. The whole of the Reggae industry needs to check itself. It's dying on its feet right now & things aren't getting better. Bashment can't sell in the shops, can you believe that? Can't just put the blame on one person as it's a multitude of things. People aren't going to clashes anymore (should start up a topic called why are the same old sounds in these clashes? Blunt Posse is the most feared sound right now but are being fought down).
Anyway that's my view on the Fraudiomaxx ting.
JUST LIKE THIS...
