Chain letters and the law

Chain letters and the law and why you must never get involved...

Have you ever wondered who polices chain letters? If you want to stay on the right side of chain letters and the law, you must read the following...

Chain letters are a dangerous scam which you should avoid at all costs. Not only are they mathematically doomed to failure, but if you participate in a chain letter that promises any kind of return, you could be prosecuted for mail fraud and face legal action from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

But this chain letter is selling a product...oh really?

Many people are fooled into thinking a chain letter is legal because it claims to be selling products, such as inexpensive reports about credit, mail-order, opportunity seeker lists, or other topics.

The truth is that the main purpose is to get your money, not to sell information.

"Selling" a product does not ensure legality. You should be especially suspicious if the chain letter claims that the U.S. Postal Service or U.S. Postal Inspection Service has declared the letter legal. This is said to try to gain your trust and mislead you. It is absolutely not true. Neither the Postal Service nor Postal Inspectors give prior approval to any chain letter.

Biggest part of the chain letter scam...

Chain letters don't work because the promise that all participants in a chain letter will be winners is mathematically impossible. Some others create a chain letter that lists their name numerous times--in various forms with different addressee. So, in reality, all the money in a chain is going to one person.
