Chain mail – Are you really helping others?

Once in a while I will receive some chain mail from friends regarding about saving someone by forwarding this e-mail to others. To be honest to tell everybody, I will delete the mail as soon as I found out. Cold-blooded right? But, did you all really spend some time thinking what can you help by forwarding the e-mail? Are you really helping them or you are just falling into a trap of spammer?

Seriously, did you believing by forward more e-mail to others and the one mention in the e-mail will receive more donation? Are you thinking by just forwarding more e-mail to others, will save the child from rape by others in Africa? I will tell you, you did not help anyone of them yet you are pulling all your friends in your contact list into the trap of scammer/spammer. This kind of e-mail is how they gather your e-mail address and sell to scammer/ spammer, or they are the scammer/spammer.

I just received 2 e-mails about South Africa's Child Protection Unit is to be closed and urges recipients to "sign" a message protesting the closure before sending it to others. After a simple search on Google, I found that the e-mail is just another scam e-mail.

Now ask yourself, are you really helping others or you just a helper of scammer/spammer? Think twice before you forward an e-mail to your friend next time. A kind heart which trying to help others is good, but don’t let other misuse it.
