If your chain letter goes as planned.. then some people end up with a lot of shoes and others end up with nothing. The extra shoes have to come from somewhere. So some people will end up getting ripped off. |

My aunt sent me a letter in the mail like this one, but it was with socks. I just can't see any reason to have that many shoes or socks! LoL! This is interesting though if it works and people like the idea.   |

LoL 36 flips flops, and only two feet. I've never heard of doing this, but it is a kind of neat idea. I buy flip flops from the dollar tree for a dollar...LOL! Well, some of them anyway.  |

The way people get ripped off is they send their shoes and nobody sends them any. This happens at the end of a chain letter. All chain letters end but the most importaint is to know that the longer it goes on the more people are going to get ripped off. The trick of this letter assumes you don't know when the letter will end so you think it goes on for ever. If that were the case then why don't people make a list of 10 names, send 1000 bucks to the first name and send the letter out to 100 people, that way they would end up with a million dollars. I know it's complicated but the extra shoes have to come from somewhere, not everyone is going to end up with shoes. Try to think of the letter in a small town of 100 people. Some people will get shoes others will get nothing. Also, many people just move their name to the top of the list and get 6 pairs and don't send any shoes out at all. No matter how you look at it, somebody gets ripped off. |

I've got ripped off many times. So now when I get the chain letters from friends. I simply send them back with a little note saying thanks but no thanks.  |

I had one of these with a different article of clothing... I sent them but never got them back.. no big loss, it didn't work because everyone didn't do their part..  |
