The new spam on orkut is flooding mailbox nowadays reads…

“HEY ITS DIANNA, FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ORKUT,EVERYBODY SORRY FOR THE INTERRUPTION BUT ORKUT IS CLOSING THE SYSTEM DOWN BECAUSE TOO MANY BOTTERS ARE TAKING UP ALL THE NAMES, WE ONLY HAVE 57 NAMES LEFT, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT, DONT SEND THIS MESSAGE, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR ACCOUNT ,SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST. THIS IS NOT A JOKE, YOU’LL BE SORRY IF YOU DONT SEND IT. THANKS DIRECTOR OF ORKUT, TIM BUISKI. WHOEVER DOESNT SEND THIS MESSAGE, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DEACTIVATED AND IT WILL COST YOU $ 10.00 A MONTH TO USE IT”

Lets intercept the truth (as usual)!
First Orkut is by Google so its bound to be free! (As per Google’s reputation and history)
And most important, there is no TIM BUISKI in orkut team! (Read this wikipedia page)

Also following FAQ is taken from an Orkut Help page…

Are you planning to charge orkut users?

orkut is a free service, and there are currently no plans to charge for orkut.If you receive messages or emails about orkut becoming a paid service, please disregard them; they’re a hoax. Major changes to orkut are always posted on the “News” section of orkut.com, so if you’re ever in doubt about the authenticity of an email you receive, please refer to the News section for the real scoop.

We hope you’ll continue to use orkut to stay connected to old friends and new — for free!

The point behind writing all this is to stop spamming!
So please next time you get a mail like above delete it! Still if orkut sends you a bill of $10, contact me and I’ll pay for you…
