OK folks, I need your help...

What would you say to a friend who continually sends you "scare emails" about every "so-called" scam to watch out for?

@RippinKlouds I think this is good! The direct approach is always best! Thanks!

Send them the same back.

I begged my cousin not to do this. It sets off anxiety in me and I hate reading anything that has a headline saying: "WARNING!!!"

Of course, she ignored me.

Maybe get a new email address, just for her and others like her...?

@greenmountaingal Good idea!

Someone needs to be reminded of the ancient form of 'Chain letters' and how they weren't real.

And also should be taught how to research things.

There is no cure for stupid
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
@SW-User yikes. I had a friend like that on Facebook and finally just blocked her.
SW-User
@GJOFJ3 I just sent him a Snopes link, lol.
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
@SW-User ah yes but he will believe they are in on the conspiracies

Say why r yu sending me all these yu know it truly disturbs me
SW-User
Stop sending those they may contain virus if opened.
Noble · 56-60, M
I would actually block that shit. lol
Tell them to stop

Kindly ask them not to forward them to you. If they persist, block them
SW-User
@Salix75 Thanks. I've known this friend (not online) for over 20 years.
Salix75 · 46-50, F
@SW-User ah, then blocking isn't an option I guess. That's tough. I had a friend who did the same thing... very frustrating. I suppose if you wanted to, you could reply with fact-based responses (eg from Snopes), to try to get them to see things. But that could be a lot of work. You may be stuck just hitting the 'delete' button :-/
SW-User
@Salix75 Yeah, maybe so. Thanks.
