What are chain emails and petitions?
Chain letters ask you to forward a specific message to others, often promising health, wealth, or good luck. Petitions ask you to forward a message to others to demonstrate support for a cause. Both chain letters and petitions create more mail in everyone’s mailbox and may inadvertently give your email address to people who will send you more spam. Therefore, make sure that you do not forward such chain letters or petitions, and delete them instead.
