Got a chain text? message from someone in a whatsapp group this morning warning about some exploit or scam and warning me that if I didn't pass the message on to 10 other accounts I'd die immediately in horrible ways or some such nonsense. Fun! I haven't had one of those for ages.

Firstly, obviously bold of them to assume I know ten other people but secondly, where's the scam part of this?

I remember chain letters from school. Is that all this is? A warning about something that's clearly a hoax and a warning to pass it on. Tee-hee, lets see if we can go viral. 

I mean, ok. Don't people have better things to do now?
