Chain Emails

All these are complete waste my friend. Just try to ask a very simple question. If they are paying you the money then where are they getting it from? Why are they paying you. Well if they are paying you say 1 dollar then they must be getting much more than that. So how can they get that much. If it is so easy why don’t you start it on your own. then the clear picture will be in front of you

Yeah, I receive that type of emails way too often in my inbox. I'm not really sure whether such emails are really true in that AOL or Yahoo etc. will pay one cents to the person who requested for help in the first place, but I am pretty sure that the probability of such emails to be fake is much higher than it being genuine. Reason being, the photos or pictures uploaded with the email could possibly be taken from anywhere. Besides, I'm not even sure whether AOL or Yahoo etc. will be able to track all the forwarded emails to calculate how much to pay; and if we think of it even further, AOL or Yahoo should be rich enough to fund the person requesting for help - why need all these email forwarding business? In conclusion, I normally just ignore such emails. If someone would want to request for help, it should be done by better means, for example going through more "acceptable" means such as charity organizations or collecting donations with the person needing the help being present at the point of collection so everyone knows it's true and genuine. While some of those chain emails can bring out some sympathy in me, I just feel it isn't the right avenue to ask for help.....
