The hours I've spent aren't enough to pay rent...

I could've been a billionnaire or richer by now.

Have you received email messages like this one?


Damn! I hate them. When you receive something like this for the first time and you're desperate or bankrupt, you'd somehow bite into the scheme. Imagine someone offering you to help him keep huge amount of money! On the other hand, you'd think twice. Such a too-good-to-be-true BS! The person doesn't even know you and he's entrusting you millions of dollars! Damn! When a lot of people are wide-eyed dreaming to become wealthy! Rich people are actually too greedy to share their wealth! So, what is this about?!

I've been receiving similar messages for 3 years now. And I hate that I always have to clear my inbox because of spams. Save it. I know you'd suggest that I use the filter option. I already did. Didn't work. What needs to be done is to track down those spammers and put them in prison. ha ha (joke) We can never tell how many people they've already tricked into sending them money for whatever process, they say, needed to transfer the million dollars they're boasting about. Sad thing is, there really are victims of these email scams. Can't blame them. It's hard to earn money.

You would know it's a scam if you see (any of) these:

1. "Awaiting for your kind response" I don't know but these scammers always use this sentence as subject. As soon as you see this, don't think twice...just tick that delete button so you won't get tempted to read through the entire thing and in the end become somewhat convinced it might be for real.

2. Email scam normally includes contact information and if you check the website, it will tell you that it is indeed a legit company. But never never settle just checking their website. If you really want to know whether it is for real or not, go an extra mile and dial the number. It should prove to you what you need to know.

3. It always involves a big time person who had died leaving huge amount of money but no next of kin is known. Isn't that stupid? No relatives whatsoever? Not even a dog?!! No rich person would do without a will ready in case something bad happens to him...idiot scammers! But whatta way to lure.

4. When I say huge amount of money, I mean millions of dollars waiting to be transfered to anyone's bank account. The first of this kind I received involved 60 million something dollars, which according to "David Kangu" (the sender) he was willing to share 10% once I agree to receive using my bank account. That was US$6 000 000! When converted to Philippine peso, it's a whopping 336 000 000. So Too good to be true, aye?!

5. You should also notice how grammatically problematic the email letter is.




Bottom line is...just don't believe in anything that sounds like too-good-to-be-true. You can't just trust anyone who sends you an email asking for assistance involving money. You know if you were in his shoes you wouldn't even tell anyone about the good fortune you just got. Like when you win the lottery. Would you even tell your neighbor you won?! Damn, you're gonna die sooner if you do. Everyone is after a more comfortable life we all know that.
