Recently i received an email containing following text:
Today is SAI BABA's Brithday. Don't Ignore this message otherwise
bad luck will follow you for 1 year. Send this message to 10 friends
and you will get one good news today.
Its real....
I know what most of you do to deal with such kind of email.
You just hit forward button and type out 10 email id's of your friend
who in turn again forward it to ten people and so on......
most of you would say what the big deal in forward such message.
Even if we forward such message it doesn't harm us. DO you want
to visualize the harm read on....
All messages which claim that those should be forwarded are called chain-letters
You pay 1 cent for each message you read and forward. Then cause
the same expense to millions of people who get this message. You get
irritated if you receive lots of spam mail or junk. The message you
forward carries with itself hundreds of email ids. If one such
mail reaches a spammer, your email id is stored on computer of spammers.
After millions of such ids are stored , spammers store them on
CD, DVD and sold them to marketers, advertizers, and so on. Next
begins the vicious circle of getting spam messages and lots of junk
to which even your favourite email clients with best junk mail blocker fails.
Don't want the junk! If you forward chain letters, stop! If others send them
to you, stop them! The more junk you send, the more you will get. Sending
or receiving chain letters increases your exposure to spam, scams and other junk mail.
Stop junk e-mail and misinformation!
