People still fall for chain letter schemes by mail? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

today I came home to find a letter to me from someone I never heard before, and it was a chain letter type asking to send money. I didn't know people still fell for this crap in 2008, I mean, I just watched a Facts Of Life episode from 1983 about that a week or so ago

Those things are so stupid.

There is a fool born every minute...or is it every second. Either way, there are so many fools and sadly, elderly people who have dementia or some other mental problems that make them fall for these things.

lol, especially the ones in email and myspace, and text messages. I always get a few texts from gullible people, you know, the ones "Send this to 10 people or your mom will die!" or "if you send this to 20 people your soulmate will kiss you tonight!" Soooo stupid and people are dumb for actually sending it to that many people.

I watched "Chain Letter" last weekend. That is one of my favorites. Also, one of the few times we actually see Jo wearing a skirt.
