When you receive mass e-mails from friends and/or family with seemingly good information, do you?

5 comments so far


blindly forward it to friends and family, delete it altogether, or verify the info in the mail?

I’m addicted to snopes, but I get so many emails that are false claims or warnings it’s just silly so I wanted to see what everyone else does….

    I check out the ones worth forwarding. I use truthorfiction.com. Most are bogus. I rarely forward something.

    I have berated my family and friends for this to the point that they don’t send me stuff anymore. Yeah, I won! I consistantly pointed out that anything they forward is spam, hoax, phishing or fraud of some sort, and I gave them the links to prove it. I think they feel dumb and gullible now for me pointing this out so much that they don’t send stuff. I don’t care if I offend them that I don’t what their spam, and I’ve told them point blank, “don’t forward anything to me, period.”

    I just delete them. I don’t answer or forward any kind of mas or chain mails, and don’t do tags.

    I read them but I absolutely detest the chain emails. I never forward them to people. If it’s something that makes me curious as to whether it’s a real warning, I Google it.
