okay... thank you for your time but i would like to ask something.... have you ever recieved emails about unknown people and their illness or sickness? and they are asking you to post it or forward that email so that they would recieve an amount of money per email sent? is it true? i just want to know and clear things out... im not being cold or mean but i would like to know if people are wasting their time, or benefiting from it? and if its true, how would they (the people who gives them money) count the emails sent to everyone around the globe? and if they are willing to give allot, why hassle with time by waiting for people to send when the $$ can be given in a fixed amount in a single shot? thank you!

These are almost always scams. There are a number of variations, i.e. dieing kid wants a million email, person with cancer needs cash, or send this letter/email to 7 people or you'll have bad luck.

Yes, I have received many. Most are not true. You can check www.snopes.com to see if they are listed as true or false. I have yet to see one that was true.
