    Not sure many of you get what type of email this is. It is not trying to scam you out of money. It is a prank email that solicits to the gullibility of people.

    I get that email sent to me by friends/family once in a while and I feel embarrassed to get it, especially when you see the email trail that existed before it got to you.

    Most people will think. "I am not sure, but whet's the harm in sending the email to some friends in case it is true"
