Scamming is so lame

Okay, if I were just so lucky to have the uncle, father, brother’s mother that has some mysteriously huge amount of money, why would I run away? How does that make any sense at all?  Okay and then because we Americans are just so gullible and dare I say benevolent we believe the story about the person who needs help to access their own millions of dollars. This swindle is just so let-me-try-to exploit-you that I just don’t see how anyone much less everyone falls for it not to mention is willing to come off their own money in order to do so. Why would some one you do not know want some one they do not know to handle some money for them? They wouldn’t, while it is marked spam, looks like spam, smells like spam before it even reached your inbox, just delete the mail and never look at it twice.  Do not think for a second that you or your poor unfortunate soul of a friend is just too lucky! The only luck they will receive is the luck of being taken advantage of. I do not know about anyone else but I just hope for that on a daily basis. 

Therefore, when someone wants to charge you money to give you money, do not do it. Tell other people and do some research, the scammers are documented well on the Internet. Look beyond your home page, and stop giving out your personal information (i.e. banking information, social security #, your children’s names).
