I always received chained messages in the network that I'm using. Sometimes it's friendly but and sometimes its scary. Scary in a way that it threatens me if i will not send it to many. Should we entertain this messages or ignore this? Is anyone there experienced receiving this chained messages?

I really don't like chain mail either. I've gotten it on my phone, not so much my e-mail though. I always seem to get them from girls rather then guys. Usually if I open a taxt and see the thing that says "FWD:FWD:FWD" at the top then I just instantly close out of it. That's because one time awhile ago I read one about something creepy and I was kinda paranoid for the whole day. Also don't send it to others because then your annoying them just like the first person annoyed you with the text.

Ignore it! I really hate chain letters. Ever since it started on paper, and then it was able to get its way into email, and now text! And some would even use God's name in it! Like, in text messages for examples, they would tell us to say a prayer or something and then forward it to about 5 or so people and if we don't do it something bad will happen or if we do it something good will happen etc etc. I mean, duh, God doesn't work that way! It's just a waste of air-time load and money for me. I think the phone companies are the ones who started it. Hehehe! Kidding! Anyways, ever since those chain messages started (in whatever form), I never believed in any of it. For me, it's just a sick way of scaring and fooling people and wasting people's time.

I ignore every bit of chain mail. It's all silly superstition. Nothing will happen if you don't send out copies of mail to a certain number of people. In fact, sending the mail to people will probably just annoy them so you get a worse result from continuing the chain than you would by breaking it. If you don't send it, you know that you won't annoy or unnecessarily worry people by making them think they have to continue the pointless ritual.

I ignore all chain mails..be it emails or phone texts. Nothing's going to threaten me to send those out(unless I choose to do so for a few who might enjoy it). Some people entertain them and some don't. I don't blame either.
