This week I got so many phishing emails claiming that I’ve made some outrageous purchase from many companies, but the emails came not from those companies but from gmail. How dumb do they think we are?
This comic appears two days after news breaks that the former guy scammed his supporters out of $250 million. As the doc says, “Stupid people are always good”.
I had a computer consulting client who had the misfortune to buy $10,000 worth of computer software which would supposedly allow him to make big money in currency manipulation. I made sure to get paid in cash.
Reminds me of the SNL game show, “Where’d the Money Go?”, with pro athletes as contestants. Question categories were, I Spent It, I Sniffed It, I Lost It, and She Took It.
a news story from a couple days ago related that, in the latest of many, many similar scams here in japan, an 80-something actually believed a scammer who said that a deposit of millions of yen would be needed to receive a prize of hundreds of millions of yen. the dotard gave away 8 million yen…

Create one to manage financial data. People like that. (And put the % charged in the long legal disclaimer no one reads before hitting ‘accept’.)

The notice said:
SEND ME ONE DOLLAR AND A SELF-ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE AND I WILL TELL YOU HOW I MADE MY FORTUNE.
The man was curious and complied.
A week later his SASE returned with a note inside saying:
THIS IS HOW I DID IT.
