Most of us have heard of the Nigerian scams. They promised to pay you big money if you agree to help them recover their so called cash locked in some banks overseas. Yet thousands of people around the world still became prey of these scams. And many of these people who are swindled are well educated professionals. Why? One of the main reason is because of GREED. It is greed that drives rational people to make irrational decisions. It is the desire to want more and the fear of losing out; that turn intelligent men into clueless clowns.
I receive scam mails very frequently through my mailbox. One of the most frequently used method of scam is the Lottery Scams. Here is one of the example that landed in my mailbox:-

Maybe one day, I shall write back and tell them to credit US$800,000 into my bank account and thereafter I will credit 1o,000,000 into their bank account. That 10 million will be in Indonesian rupiah. It is my way of saying thank you to these idiotic pigs who goes around doing evil things. To these evil devils who make a living out of scamming innocent people, I have a message for you - May You Rot In HELL. And to those people who have fallen into these scams - Serve You Right for being GREEDY. Now take this expensive lesson as a learning experience; and never have a GREED mentality again. You can be as successful as you want to be, it is a gift that God has given you; and the name of this gift is called WORK.
People must realized that there is no such thing as easy money. Cash does not fall into your lap. Schemes or businesses that promise lucrative and easy cash in return for your investment are mostly scams. In this difficult times, it is paramount that you must protect your savings and assets. If you have decided to try your luck in lottery, make sure that you are buying a legitimate state lottery ticket. And do not spend too much money on buying lottery ticket. If you do, then you are gambling. I always advice those who buy lottery tickets not to spend more than $50/- a month. For myself, I do not gamble, I do not buy lottery tickets and I have no interest in visiting casinos. I firmly believe that LUCK is always with me so long as I work diligently and stay focus on my goals.
