But >>this one is different. This one works. If you are posting this message from the United States (and I beleive Canada also) then IT IS DEFINITELY 100% POSITILVELY A FELONY. If you post these messages, or even send money to someone who has posted these messages whether you repost the message or not, you are committing a felony. You don't have to believe it. You don't have to think it. You don't even have to understand it or claim it in your messgae. Post this stuff and you will be reported to your provider. If enough people complain you will be cut off from your provider and denied further access. And if the government catches it, you will be prosecuted, fined, and possibly serve time in jail. Chain letters are a scam. I will be forwarding your post and the relevant legal information to your provider. For those of you intelligent enough to check out what I am saying, here is some reference: "There's at least one problem with chain letters. They're illegal if they request money or other items of value and promise a substantial return to the participants. Chain letters are a form of gambling, and sending them through the mail (or delivering them in person or by computer, but mailing money to participate) violates Title 18, United States Code, Section 1302, the Postal Lottery Statute. Recently, high-tech chain letters have begun surfacing. They may be disseminated over the Internet, or may require the copying and mailing of computer disks rather than paper. Regardless of what technology is used to advance the scheme, if the mail is used at any step along the way, it is still illegal."
