Christmas is a time for gifting, but who is buying this BS?

It never ceases to amaze me how generous some people can be, especially at this time of year. Christmas is a time for giving, but I had begun to think that people had forgotten about this. You see all the commercials on television and the children and parents that everyone wants, wants, wants.

“Dad, please, can I have that? Oh, please, Dad.”
“Oh honey it’s only 3 carats please with a cherry on top!”

We are such an in-demand society that I thought the age of giving was dying. But this week I was amazed at what people will do for each other. And not just any town. Complete strangers seem to be incredibly generous.

Today I received an email from a lady named Amanda Guld from West Africa. She emailed me completely out of nowhere and said she had a check for me for $ 900,000. I almost fell out of my chair. He said he had been trying to catch me with no luck. I couldn’t understand this because my name “Dickie Armor” is easily searched on any of the search engines and all my email addresses work and I have had the same phone numbers for years. But Mrs. Amanda Guld was having trouble. I guess the internet in West Africa could be a bit slower.

Anyway, he told me that he had deposited my check with a UPS courier called Daniel Cole and that I should contact him to receive my check. I’m so excited. I already have almost all of the $ 900,000 spent. Aston Martin DB9 Volante is coming any minute.

Aren’t the people so generous? !! The other thing that really gets me excited is that a complete stranger named Martha Smith emailed me this time last week and promised that she can help me raise over $ 40,000 a month using her easy to follow system! Now this is really great news because as soon as I spend the $ 900,000 that Amanda Guld sends me, I will need more dollars, so I am quite excited about this new online marketing system. It seems like a no-brainer. Hey, Martha, I’ll be in touch very soon.

So that’s my good news about two incredibly generous strangers, but as if this wasn’t special enough my partner called yesterday to tell me that he had won £ 2.6 million in the Dutch Lottery. He received an email from them telling him that he had won. Can you believe it ?! And what was really amazing about my partner winning this? He hadn’t even bought a ticket! He was very excited and is convinced that a friend or family member must have bought the ticket for him. And just like me, your Aston Martin DB9 will arrive any day too.

So Christmas 2009 has been amazing, so many nice strangers who have contacted me to give me a ton of money!

Merry Christmas you bastards!

Please tell me that you are not someone who buys this BS when you receive an email from a complete stranger. Well if it’s not you, who is being cheated on? We all need to wake up and stop being so gullible! Surely as people who Blog; use Twitter; Facebook; LinkedIn; Ecadeny; Flickr; YouTube etc, should we educate all of our friends and family NOT to get sucked into this shit?

So which one of you hasn’t told all of your friends and family?

If we all stop being so gullible and stop responding to these idiots, surely this problem will eventually go away? Please pledge to do your bit in 2010 and spread the word through your friends and family. If they haven’t bought a lottery ticket, they haven’t won!

If they get an email from West Africa, Nigeria, Russia, China, or anywhere else from a stranger who claims they have a long-lost family heritage, tell them not to reply.

And if they promise some smart system that will make them the next gazillonaire on the Internet, tell them not to bother. Or maybe just do what I do and get in touch and ask them to give it a try by letting me use the system for free for 6 months and if it’s as good as they say they should be happy to put their money where their mouth is!

But best of all, you tell your friends and family that next time (and sadly there will be a next time) they will receive an incredible offer, too good to be true from a complete stranger, they simply have to hit the delete button and continue. with your day.
