Email:
All of us want to feel like we’re doing something to care for those in need. One email
says that by simply clicking on a breast cancer Web site, “a woman gets a free mammogram at no
cost to you.” The email says corporate sponsors who advertise on the site pay for the mammograms
and that you can click on the site only once.
Fact:
In fact, this is not a scam, and the email is, for the most part, accurate. However, it takes not one
click but tens of thousands to pay for each mammogram. And you are not limited to one click total, but
one click per day. It’s important to note that the breast cancer site is a for-profit company, not a
non-profit charity.
