Subject: RE: BS: What kind of email scam is this one???
Thaat's very sad, Little Hawk. An interesting comment on how people can be scammed because of their ardent hope for something good to happen. I suppose we all have this to some extent. After all, why buy a Lottery ticket? There's a several-million-to-one chance that you'll win anything at all, but they sell like hot cakes on a Saturday. My husband was very vulnerable to this kind of thinking when he first came to UK. He was naively convinced that he could get something for nothing by subscribing to this and that (most poor Africans are). I had to guide and protect him tactfully through those months until he wised-up. How do you view folk like this LH? Are they just greedy and deserve to be scammed, or are they naive, simple and vulnerable and deserve our guidance and protection?
