Oh crap :eek

You mean that offer to get $15 million dollars I received in my email last night was a ruse? :unsure:

Next I suppose your gonna tell me that I should not have given them my bank routing number? :eek

 

[CityGirl]

For the life of me, I can't understand how people forward the majority of chain emails and posts without verifying the info first. It peeves me to no end mainly because these people vote!

 

[Natasha]

I love to shoot people down w/ Snopes all the time. :24: It's even gotten to the point now where people will come to me on Facebook and say "hey, I saw this...can you check and see if it's true???" LOL

Careful cause snoopes has been wrong in the past.. They are good for older stories but have been known to pull the trigger to fast on news breaking stories they had not verified..

I agree.. Not like Google won't pull up this stuff within a second of popping the first line in the search bar..

I'm not being funny, you'd think common fucking sense would tell you that facebook likes won't magically pay for surgery.

You'd think so. But I've got people I know who still think forwarding me a text message will give them a credit on their next bill from Verizon. *shrugs*

Yeah true.

But I have women (note the plural) in their 20s+ who think if they don't pass on a chain mail message a clown is going to jump out of their closet and kill them.

 

[dancingpotato]

I am scared of clowns but I take that chance.

 

[Natasha]

I'm not scared of clowns...but that damn girl that comes out of the shower drain and kills you has forced me to continue chain mails many times over!!!

:24:

 

[HK]

Oh lmao, it's just horrible this girl that I really thought would know better posted one of those stupid chain mail facebook statuses recently. No lie, it said if you don't pass it on, a ghost will come and rip your face off and leave you in a drain.


This was an anti-bullying message, apparently.

A few weeks ago, I read a really long, detaled story about a girl who drags people down shower drains and kills them, right before I went and had a shower. Halfway through my shower, Zorak turned the lights off in the bathroom by mistake and I nearly died from shock. I thought the chain letter was coming true.



HK I really hate the ones that have a "message". Especially ones with a child abuse message. Like the one that's going around about the mother that beat her 2 year daughter to death for drawing on the sheets with lipstick. Then the mother reads the message (which is really long and well spelt for a 2 year old) and it talks about how much the girl loves her mother. It's so horrible. I can't help but think there is some person out there who really gets off writing stuff like that and having it repeated many times.

You'd think so but it seems people are more stupid than you'd think, I still get people messaging me about facebook 2 and how you've got to pay for it. I swear I have a lot of sympathy for people who do fraud, it really seems to be too easy to rip people off.
