FTC Names Its Dirty Dozen:12 Scams Most Likely to Arrive Via Bulk Email
at
Chain letters

You're asked to send a small amount of money ($5 to $20) to each of
four or five names on a list, replace one of the names on the list with
your own, and then forward the revised message via bulk email. The
letter may claim that the scheme is legal, that it's been reviewed or
approved by the government; or it may refer to sections of U.S. law
that legitimize the scheme. Don't believe it.

The scam: Chain letters-traditional or high-tech-are almost always
illegal, and nearly all of the people who participate in them lose
their money. The fact that a "product" such as a report on how to make
money fast, a mailing list, or a recipe may be changing hands in the
transaction does not change the legality of these schemes.
