Isn't it lovely what our children have to face when they become adults? Somedays I wonder if Cyberworld was a great invention. I am sure it was meant to be, but leave it to our sad society in ruining something good. Would you be proud of your child if you knew they made an earning scamming people on the internet? Would you be proud to tell your children that you earned your paycheck by scamming people on the internet?
It isn't even just the internet. A friend of mine recently had her debit card copied at a store in the mall. They duplicated the card and withdrew a thousand dollars out of her account. I just received a letter in the mail along with a ck drawn from Build-A-Bear close to $5,000. The letter stated I had won $250,000, but that I needed to pay taxes on the winnings first. It stated that I should go to Walmart and MoneyGram $4,000 of the ck inorder to pay the taxes. It gave me a phone number inorder to call in my claim and get specifics on where to wire the tax money to. I did a phone number search and found out the number was a cellphone based out of Canada. Today I called Build-A-Bear to inquire about this contest I had won to only be told what I knew all along. It was a scam. They had drawn up bogus checks right from Build-A-Bear bank account and had been circulating them around the United States for weeks now. Sad, Really Sad. Look at the rise in identity theft. You do realize it takes years to clear your name once you become victim of identity theft? Nothing is safe anymore in this world. Nothing!
We have become a lazy, criminal, selfish society. It makes me sick!
What is even more sad is can you guess what the debt of our country will be once our children are adults?
