Gobs and Gobs of Free Stuff

This Book is a scam

  Yesterday I went to my church to drop off a huge donation of books and housewares items that my brother and sister and law had stored in our attic. While I dropped off the items I happened to stumble across a book by Matthew Lesko. The book was titled Gobs and Gobs of Free Stuff!. So I bought it for a $0.25 along with Sweatin' To The Oldies 1 & 2 on VHS for a total of $1. Anyway Gobs and Gobs of Free Stuff! is a very misleading book. For instance the book has free toys on the cover. When you look up toys in the index, toy safety comes up, not toys that are free.
  Basically this book is about free government information such as pamphlets and brochures and resources found on government websites. So if you bought this book at retail you got ripped off big time. Every Matthew Lesko book is a scam of some sort. Free Money books are so stupid because the free government grants are basically for certain regions of the USA such as certain cities in certain states. So if you bought any book by Matthew Lesko, you should feel ashamed of yourself.

The Nigerian Lottery

  One of the things that makes me laugh is none other than the Nigerian Lottery scam. I can't believe that people are so gullible to this scam. If you have ever received an email saying that you just won X amount of millions of dollars in the Nigerian Lottery, saying in order to receive your money you have to send a certain amount of money and your bank account information.

How can you be this stupid?

  Now first off there is no such thing as a Nigerian Lottery. Nigeria does not have a lottery that I know of off hand. What I can tell you is that people are so stupid thinking that they actually won money in a foreign lottery. Secondly how can people fall for this crap when they know that they never entered in such a lottery.
  I was in the post office the other day to send out a package to my cousin's newborn son when I happened to see a pamphlet about Foreign Lottery Scams and how they can ruin your life, finances, and etc. Well I couldn't help but laugh at that pamphlet because I am smarter than the people who fall for the 419 scam.

Elderly People are most of the victims

  Wait what is a 419 scam? Well a 419 scam refers to the section of the crimes code 419 which is about lottery scams. So Nigerian Lottery/419 scam is the same thing essentially. Now where was I? Oh yes the
Nigerian Lottery. Most people who fall for this nonsense is elderly people because they are the most gullible people to fall victim to scams. It's a fact elderly people are more likely to let a total stranger walk in to their house to "Buy Antiques" and then later come back at night and rob them of their valuables.
  If it sounds too good to be true then it usually is. If you are suspicious of a Nigerian Lottery scam, check out Snopes.com that website lists email scams and debunks internet hoaxes and Urban Legends. I highly recommend that website it's worth your while.
