Cupin (a geek) | Msg #1 19-03-2011 11:14 pm I spent my time reading some news on the star and one title catch my eyes. Senior old women has been scam by lottery syndicate. A few month ago, I also receive their pamphlet on my letter box at home. After read them, I just throw it out knowing this already a scam. I feel sorry for that women and 16 others and I hope none of you involve in this story. Please remember, there is no easy money in this world. http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/3/19/nation/8303034&sec=nation |
jazz1011 (top contributor) | Msg #2 20-03-2011 12:18 am It's very saddening to know that until today there are still many people (young & old, and even intellectual individuals) who fall victims to lottery scams. Despite the many incidences that occurred and the news that exposed these syndicates, people just never learn. I guess we can say that the power of greed would always be greater than the power of money. A lust that is hard for any human being to suppress. |

tiger | Msg #5 22-03-2011 11:51 pm I totally agree with you. It’s really sad to see that some people still fall for these scams, especially the elderly who might not be as tech-savvy or informed. I think it’s super important for all of us to stay alert and spread awareness, lah! No doubt, it's true that if something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Just like you said, there really isn’t any easy money out there. Better to save up wisely than to take unnecessary risks, right? Let’s keep sharing this kind of info so we can help each other stay safe! |
