Why People Send Chain Letters and Hoax Messages -- Only the original writer knows the real reason, but some possibilities are: - To see how far a letter will go. - To harass another person (include an e-mail address and ask everyone to send mail) - To bilk money out of people using a pyramid scheme. - To kill some other chain letter (e.g. Make Money Fast). - To damage a person's or organization's reputation. --- David RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
