There is currently another chain letter circulating that sends shivers down many people's spines - a computer voice tells about the undead 9-year-old Nico.

At the moment, young users in particular are receiving a chain letter with frightening voice messages via messenger (WhatsApp or Facebook).

A computer voice can be heard that speaks of the undead 9-year-old Nico, who is said to have no hands and whose face is full of scars. Anyone who doesn't send the message to 20 contacts will receive a visit from Nico at midnight and will be killed. However, whoever forwards the chain letter should be lucky...

The robotic computer voice underlines the whole story and is likely to be very disturbing, especially for children.

The power of chain letters

There is no evidence that these bad things actually happen if you stop sending the message. Such chain letters use made-up statements to make the reader or listener believe that there is a real threat.

Such terrible texts not only frighten children, but also parents and young adults.

Break the chain!

There is only one way to end a chain letter - break the chain.

It is understandable that such texts trigger fear. Being threatened with death is simply not funny for the person concerned, but there are people who find it funny to scare others like that. Parents should feel encouraged to explain this to their child too. And that such chain letters are best deleted, because a chain letter is not a real threat.

Conclusion:

Nico won't come and kill you. Sending this message only serves to make others feel equally uncomfortable, scared, and unsettled.

Chain letters also cause unnecessary data transfer. Imagine that everyone actually sends the message to 20 others, and then again to 20 others, etc. etc. - the distribution increases exponentially! This is not only annoying, but also unnecessary.

So if you receive this message, educate your friend about chain letters and DELETE the message. No paranormal violence will kill you or your family. Someone made this story up to make fun of other people's fears.
