Chain letter scam?

Question

I just got one of those chain letters with the 5 cents attached to it. The one where you send $10 dollars to the person on the top of the list. You also have to send 200 copies of the letter out to 200 people with 5 cents stuck to it (to get attention from the reader).
It's suppose to cost just over $200 to do it and you should expect $70,000 to come in the mail over the next few months.
Has anyone ever done this particular chain letter? What kind of money did you receive (if any)?
I am willing to part with $200 because I understand that it is a gamble and a once off.

ok I just looked the letters up on the net. It seems like a bad idea not to metion illegal. I'll keep my $200

Answer 1

The only person who gets money in this scam is the one you are sending $10. I have yet to see a person, other than the one of the top, who will make any money out of it. My advise, don't waste your money gambling, but if you wanna gamble, then gamble in schemes which are properly registered/regulated by the government and/or are lawful entities.
