I cannot tell you how many emails I have gotten with links included, but if you click the link, it says just the opposite of what the email says. I guess no one that already believes this shit checks the source.

This especially happens with "Snopes says this is true", with a link to the "false" Snopes article. I would laugh if it were not so pathetic that people write these emails, and fall for them.
