chain letter advice?
Anyone have horror stories about chain letters? Particularly the "send six people on this list a dollar,add yourself to the list then mail it to 200 other people and you'll have more dollars than a table dancer on payday" type?Will I just be out six bucks and two hundred stamps?

With chain letters I laugh at them, then dance in front of a broken mirror with an opened umbrella inside with of the mirror lit while invoking Mary, Queen of Scots.
...maybe that's why I haven't had that million dollars fall into my lap yet...hrm.....

I dont get those anymore, but when I did I just threw them away. Now if I could just get my cousin to stop sending me all those darn chain emails. I wonder if he notices that my toes havent fallen off yet and I am still alive and well even though I never reply to them.

I throw them out. The email versions get deleted- immediately... except for the Bill Gates one. Somehow, I really believe that that check is coming from him very soon... (he says while holding his breath)
Seriously, even the religious ones that say you have to send this to 10 people and you will receive many blessings. If I like the message, I will forward them, but the "send this to x number of people" part gets deleted from the body.

I always delete them just as I always throw those sent by regular mail.
The worst ones play on any fears you may have if you dont send them with a veiled "curse" or admonition if you dont send it.
Called "Spam" nowadays and prefer mine fried

First off, they are illegal if you send them through the USPS. You don't want to get caught by the Postal authorities, 'cause they really frown upon them.
Secondly, you'll probably never see any return on them.

"so no one has tried them? i dont mean the curse ones, but the send-each-person-a-buck ones. they should work in theory, just like amway..."
Yeah! that's the kind I'm talking about. no "curse or bad luck" threats just the "give me a dollar and we'll put you on a list to get a dollar from 500,000 people"
