Chain Mail and Pyramid Scheme Messages Chain Mail and Pyramid Scheme Messages Do not create and send or forward chain mail.
Chain mail asks each recipient of the message to forward the message to others.
Those recipients, of course, are asked to do the same-and, so on. The initial message might be sent to 10 people. Those 10 each send to 10 and create 100 messages. Those 100 each send to 10 and create 1000. Some chain mail messages claim that they are not illegal and go on to include what is claimed as proof.
