like this and then send it to a list of older folks that they know will like it. Those folks send it on to their friends and relatives.

This email, like others I've seen, uses words, sentence structure, and images that sound like my age group.

Most of them are sophisticated enough to be skeptical of something like this and know how to use Snopes to root out lies.
