Illegal chain letters and emails

Two government sites explaining what about chain letters are illegal, and why:

This page from the US Post Office puts chain letters in the category of gambling.

And if you'd like to report someone this page from the FTC provides a couple of complaint options.

Do us all a favor, don't even forward "legal" chain letters or emails that promise good luck to those who forward it on, and bad luck to those who don't. It's all BS and it's frankly rude to wish someone bad luck if they don't spam others.
