People,
This is a really old HOAX!!!
Let us think about this logically.
A, It is basically NOT possible to track email in this way. It could be done by attaching a script to the message, but how they would track it back to you without your HOME ADDRESS being supplied by you I do not know. Also most email systems strip scripts as they are VERY DANGEROUS. NEVER run a program sent to you by anyone, never click on a link in an email. Be wary of any attachments sent to you, especially if you were not expecting them.
B, If you do the maths. You will see that within 7 iterations they would need to pay over £1 million pounds to each person! By 21 iterations you would be paying more than the economy of some small countries!
The main function of this sort of thing is to clog up email systems. It is a kind of manual virus.
Take a look at Snopes.com and you will find reference to this. I know I said don't click on links. So errr… Don't click on it ;)
Sorry to bust ya bubble.
