Typo – should read ‘Scam Centre in Hong Kong’
Like all scams, I suppose there are people who fall for this pile of old junk (pun, geddit?). If they didn’t, nobody would do it, right?
This scam reminds me of a caper I always wanted to pull. It goes like this.
You’re in the Lottery queue on a rollover Saturday night. You watch the numbers the guy in front chooses carefully, then copy them. You: “Ere, mate. I’ve just chosen the same numbers as you. That means we’ll split that £10m jackpot 50-50. Now, think carefully. That’s got to be worth giving me a tenner to NOT to choose them, wouldn’t you say…?”
Of course the reason I never tried that out in real life is because I’d probably get twatted – and I’d deserve it. Online, you’re protected from any consequences by all that lovely distance and anonymity – which is, of course, exactly why it pays scammers to try anything and everything.
I do wish they’d avoid choosing names that sound like porn actresses, though. ‘Shawn Michaels’? Lols.
