Good Morning and Happy Day it’s Friday and the start of another weekend. Any plans this weekend or you just taking it easy? I have heard that saying before, “Hey Take it easy” I have also heard people reply “I will take it any way I can”… Hmmm sounds like a personal problem. But, my wish is the same as it would be any other day of the week. I am hoping your day today as well as your weekend is wonderful, I mean that. Ok on with the assorted this and that’s for this day Friday March 30th.
Have you ever been scammed? I mean, bought something, or was told something or just went somewhere and what you thought you were getting, buying seeing was not as you pictured in your mind. The seller (scammer) pulled the proverbial wool over your eyes so far as you had bend down untie your shoes to lift it off. I have been in sales for over 30 years. Started working right out of high school at ALL PHASE ELECTRIC and seem to care enough about the business that I stayed to this very day. Yeah there have been the casual up’s and downs as with any business… let me see the term I am looking for… what is it called.. Oh yeah A JOB! That’s it Working, working is putting food on the table, buying things paying for things, so on and so forth. So I basically told you I have worked in sales, electrical sales and know just enough to get myself electrocuted. Not really, but the point is I have done my share of selling. So when I see a scam I see it very quick… Now mind ya, some scammers are very good. Some come across so damned sincere that one might offer a first born because you have to have this item they are selling. Not so with this onslaught of Nigerian Money Launder schemes. Oh I am sure you have seen them. If you have been on any chat network in the past 10 years, have email or just peruse the Internet they are there and they have tried to sell you a cut of a Million Dollars. Oh yeah! Yours for the taking Honest to god. Just a few things you have to do like, send them your bank account number so they can transfer a set portion of the million and the rest when they arrive. Wow, I am not sure about you but, I just want to send them an extra house key for being so generous…. But, various scams of this nature bilking those with or even less those who can’t afford to even part with a penny out of their savings and running them into an even deeper hole. Ok this story is from a newspaper or TV or perhaps it says which I am not sure but, it is very cute. Right down to the end and it’s way shorter then my introduction.. so if you made it this far, just a few more steps and this blog is over…Oh and by the way send me your bank account numbers, checking will do…
Here is the article..
News That Sounds Like a Joke
For a story, a KGTV reporter in San Diego called several telephone numbers advertised in local media offering to supply trendy, "boutique" puppies (e.g., Maltese, Bichon Frise) at cut-rate prices, and among the numbers was a seller in Nigeria, who said he was practically giving away the Bichons for just the cost of shipping ($1,000 to $2,000). The reporter, who was recording the call, asked to hear the dog actually barking before he sent any money, and the seller complied. When the reporter played back the barking for acoustics engineers, they all agreed: The Bichon's woof-woof perfectly matched the characteristics of the Nigerian seller's voice.
