What do to about those emails
You know the ones I’m talking about. We’ve all received them: sentimental prose, a prayer, a safety warning, or a petition for some important cause—asking you to sign on, and more importantly, forward the message to 10 of your friends within the next five minutes. Good luck may be offered, or in some cases, you’re warned bad things will happen if you don’t forward the message. I usually delete those messages even if they’re sent by well-meaning family and friends, and request a reply to sender. Check out this site and you’ll see that deleting these messages, rather than forwarding them as asked, is the exact best thing to do. According to Snopes.com, internet petitions and other message-forwarding emails are often scams for access to active email addresses, which are then used in spam emails or sold to other spammers.
