Is this like those email chains from the 2000s era when they say things like “forward this to everyone in your contacts for good luck” and then spend 5 paragraphs telling you about all the horrendous and grotesque things that will befall you if you don’t forward it to everyone in your contacts?

The original pre-Internet chain letters were even better. Some promised good fortune of you continued the chain, and horrible consequences if you didn’t, but often they were money making schemes. You would receive a list of names, and you would send a dime, or a dollar, to the name at the top of the list, remove that name, and put your own at the bottom. If everyone stuck with the chain, and sent the money, then eventually your name would rise to the top of the list, and money would start pouring into your mailbox. Theoretically.
Most states made them illegal.
