Chain Letters?

Have you ever got annoyed by a chain letter or chain email? 

You come home after having a busy day and after a while when you check your emails or Facebook, you see this life threatening chain mail asking you to forward it to 10 people or you or your parents will die in two or three days,what is the feeling you get when you see this kind of a spam?

Almost everyone has received a chain mail and some people are even capable of sending them out. Chain mails are not only full of misinformation but also some of them can harm your computers. 

Usually at the top of chain mails, there is something such as "Don't read this", "Stop". Or maybe there can be something like "If you stop reading this..." First thing you have to do is when you see this commanding line, you have stop reading and simply ignore the rest of it. If you're really curious you can just read the rest. It can't actually do any harm to you, just you will get little bit annoyed. So at the end of the chain letter most often it contains something like, "If you do not send this to ten more people, you will die in two days." Now this will piss you off. But think twice,Will this really happen to you? Will you actually die because you didn't send an email? How is it even possible? I'm not so sure if people really believe those things because sometimes they're a viral in social media. So I have the question why do people really forward chain letters? Do they really believe all these things? I highly doubt that, but I don't understand the purpose of sending these chain mails either.

Most people don't want their inbox full with this kind of Chain letters. They're dangerous, and people with weird mentalities use them to spread misinformation for personal gain. Do not believe what you read in a chain email. Even if it sounds true, double check with another source. Be sure not to pass on chain emails as it increases your chance of spreading viruses. It can also be very annoying.

  • This is another topical blog of you. The persons who create such letters or emails are well knowing that making stress is easy on the poor mind with threading life or relatives. Using this factor they distribute their oblation worldwide. The time has come to ignore such nonsense. 

  • I think that forwarding a chain letter to other people is very bad. It is a waste of time reading the stupid things and it is stupid and mean to inflict them on other people. I agree with you, just delete it and never read it.

  • Mentally -infected people try to destroy one,s confidence by such humbug and cheating mails. we should maintain our resolution anyway

  • It's really annoying and i don't know the reason, why they doing this? You reminded me a letter which came for my father. It was at english and it was supposed that was from Spain but there were no stamps. The person who wrote this letter had an employee who had much money but he died and he had the same sirname with us and now this person wanted my father to send him some personal details, because he wanted to send the money. And for this, wanted my father to send him money! Fake!  Don't believe in such things!!!

  • I also receive such kind of mails and messages on facebook and on my mobile. I received most of messages form my friends.. If i receive such kind of messages from them then i forward this message back to them and give them warning that if you will send me message i will send you 100 messages like this. Those believe in such kind of messages they might have weak mind.

  • i have always receive a chain letter or a message like this on my mobile and i really hate it when you're expecting an important text from someone and you're too excited to open the message and when you opened it you'll get anoyed coz it was just a chain letter from someone you dont know...when this letter came from a person  i know i replied, informing and telling them straight that i dont like to receive such kind of messages like this. :D

  • I never believe in such things, and delete immediately without reading. This is sort of FOOLISH SUPERSTITIOUS.

  • I never forward such kind of email. It's really annyoing reading them.Sometimes on FB I also see someone shares a photo or news with caption "If you dont like you're not human or you dont love your parents". And it's also as annyoing as chain emails.
