RE: It's Too Good To Be True

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I have not heard about that South African scam before, but scams are really all around, and I just ignore them when I see them, but as you said there are a lot of people who don't.

There was this older neighbor and he fell for a Nigerian Prince scam, and he completely refused to listen to anyone telling him it was a scam, he was promised 2 Billion Dollars in cash, and kept sending them money because it "got stuck in Japan" or some other bullshit that they came up with, it only stopped after he was put under governance or what you call it, basically he was no longer trusted to handle his own economy.

It is really sad to see, and he still refuses to believe it was a scam, but thinks the government would not let him have the money.

If people are this gullible it's no wonder that the world looks like it does, let's just hope that it will get better.

Keep up your great work.

This is so tragic about your neighbor! And it is unbelievable that he still refuses to believe it was a scam! Yet, there are so many people who think like this!

If people are this gullible it's no wonder that the world looks like it does, let's just hope that it will get better.

This is very true! It is sad but true. As you say, let's just hope it will get better. The biggest challenge is that people must be willing to learn.

Thank you for your comment and your kind words, I really do appreciate it!

So long as there is incentive for creating a scam, they will continue to pop up I think, and if there is there will also be people willing to fall for them, we can't save everyone but we can point out the ones we see and inform the people we know about it.
