So far I have refrained from responding but this is getting too hilarious. I was rolling in laughter at the response below.
“STOP EMAILING PEOPLE STOP FUCKING EMAILING JESUS CHRIST ARE YOU ALL RET*RDED. STOP REPLYING ALL LIKE ALL FUCKING DAY ITS THE SAME THINGS STOP RESPONDING WTF?!!!”
I don’t think the original sender is on this thread anymore and I have no idea how they got our e-mail addresses. Everyone on this thread have Apple e-mail accounts except <name redacted>, not sure why.
Anyway, maybe we were destined to link up like this so I would say hello to everyone and happy 4th July to those in America.
BTW, I am <name redacted> and I live in the Caribbean Island on Trinidad and Tobago.
Cheers,
<name redacted>
How did we get here?
Two and a half weeks ago, a scammer sent a fake receipt to a bunch of people. This happens on a regular basis. What doesn’t usually happen is a seemingly endless chain of responses. I was used to this in academia. Not so much in my personal inbox…
At first, it was annoying, but now, I feel like everyone who wasn’t cc’d on this message is missing out…
(I will point out that I have (so far*) refrained from responding).
So, I’m sharing the thread with you here.

Stop replying all. I don’t know anything about this junk mail.
My thoughts exactly, I’m blocking this group! Junk mail
PLEASE stop replying to this! It sends an email to everyone every time. The scammer does not care. Delete it.
It is a mass marketing scam. Don’t call nor click on anything, or they will steal money from you.
This is spam…do not even answer, just delete!
Stop.
I don’t know how I got one this thread but please remove me. Never even heard of your company.
Ok. I won’t reply all LIKE ALL OF YOU HAVE.
Cancel this absolute SCAM.
Wtf is wrong with you, <name redacted> who the fuck I’ve never heard of. Karma of my bank will get you.
Stop
STOP EMAILING PEOPLE STOP FUCKING EMAILING JESUS CHRIST ARE YOU ALL RETARDED. STOP REPLYING ALL LIKE ALL FUCKING DAY ITS THE SAME THINGS STOP RESPONDING WTF?!!!
Stop replying to all!!
People. Just BLOCK contact, and MOVE to JUNK. This is SPAM. This is how SPAM works. So follow the instructions I mentioned and STOP trying to get in touch with the sender. You cannot …..THIS IS SPAM MAIL.
Go to the Mail app on your Mac. Select a message from the sender you want to block. Move the pointer next to their name in the message header, click the arrow, then choose Block Contact. appears next to the sender's name in the message list and a banner is added to the messages in the list to indicate they're blocked.
Please delete and block as you get this email. It’ll stop it. Everyone getting this’!!!

As long as we can’t stop this reply-all storm, can you get a pup cup for my dog? She’s a good girl.
You win for best response and cutest pup! He deserves 2 pup cups! We might as well face the face we are in some bizarre club none of us signed up for. Let’s make the most of it!! Share your favorite pet pics. This is Mr Brown
Pup cups are free, the dog is ugly, all y’all are lame af & been pmo since last week. I block/delete/junk but that doesn’t work when a new rando replies all! My turn 🙄 [Author note: the dog is NOT ugly!]
Have a blessed day.
Ummm you people bitching not to respond to ALL are doing the same damn thing so shut the fuck up and do as you preach this is the only time I have but a few on this email exchange are doing it all the time…but I must say I find it sort of enjoyable
Wow, what a moment. You managed to both scold everyone and admit you're doing the exact same thing—all in one breath. That’s some Olympic-level sbullshit
Fuck you all
I look at the computer, and the computer say Fuck TI, Fuck Nelly, Fuck 50. I’m like why you say fuck me for?!
Because you’re a scamming piece of shit. Fuck off
What is this and why the heck am I caught in the middle of it!? 😲 God bless you all thank you bye ✌🏼
Why am I in this conversation? Please remove my email from your correspondence.
Do Not open

BLOCK THIS THEN DELETE. THE MORE YOU RESPOND THE LONGER IT GOES AROUND
BLOCK AND DELETE ONLY

Haha it’s so funny you share this. At the end of June, a teacher in my kid’s school district sent an innocuous email by mistake to everyone with an email address on the board, which includes all students. We are talking hundreds of thousands of people replying all. It got so nasty there is now a police investigation into hate speech. My kid graduated so her email was disabled so I have no update but it was the perfect example of why reply all should not exist. Thank you for this second example.
