NAME:	Honda hoax
ALIAS:	New Wheels hoax

The below message is a hoax:

 Subject: Fw: New Wheels! Please forward this ... (fwd)

 First off, I just want everyone to know that this is the real
 thing. I forwarded this message to everyone I know about 6
 months ago and last week a Honda employee showed up at my house
 with my brand new 1999 Civic EX!!!  It is so funny because I
 never believed these things worked and actually I sent this one
 as a joke to all my friends.  But they forwarded the message too
 and now I have received a new car!!!

 My best friend actually hasn't gotten his car just yet but he
 checked the balance of his Honda Account and it has reached
 nearly $11,000!!! If you like Honda's or you just want a new
 car, please forward this message it is the real thing.

 Friends,

 Look I know this sounds too good to be true, and that's what I
 thought too.  But I called Honda's headquarters in Japan and
 spoke to an American representative myself and it really is
 true! They assured me that this the real thing!  I still wasn't
 convinced but I called three weeks later and my Honda account
 balance has reached the unbelievable sum of $12,500!!!  So even
 if you don't believe this, forward it anyway so my account will
 continue to grow until I get my brand new Prelude!!!

 Dear valued potential customers:

 Here at Honda we have been well known for over 20 years for
 providing the best in reliabillity, comfort, and style.  Over
 the years we have risen to be one of the top auto industries
 here in Japan. But that isn't enough.  We want to be number one
 in the US. Now our twentieth anniversary for making cars is
 here!!!  This is the perfect opportunity for you and us here at
 Honda to celebrate our 20 years of excellent service.  We have
 been trying to think of ideas to get more people to know about
 our cars.  And with technology and e-mail being the wave of the
 future, we want to jump on this opportunity. So we have set up a
 rewards system to repay those who help us spread the word about
 Honda. Our marketing staff has designed a special program that
 traces this message as it travels across the US.  Anyone who
 forwards this e-mail, will immediately have an account at their
 local Honda dealer opened in their name. This account will
 initially be opened with a credit of $1,000 toward any new or
 used vehicle at their participating dealership. For each person
 you forward this e-mail to, the amount of $200 will be added to
 your account.  If the recipients of this e-mail forward it you
 will be rewarded an additional $100 for each person it reaches
 and if they also forward it your account continues to grow in
 $100 increments. You can log onto our website at
 http://www.Honda.com to check the balance of your account.  If
 things go well and everyone participates you should see your
 account grow quite quickly.  Follow the on screen instructions
 to order the specific make and model of Honda you want to buy
 with your account. We hope that this is a rewarding experience
 for you and us.  Our goal is to reach over 1 million computers
 by the year 2000.

 I thank you for your time and business.

 Sincerely,
 Kageyama Hironobu
 Senior Honda Marketing Advisor
