Jessy’s got an article about suckers and naive elderlies (there’s a difference?) who are scammed by the “You have won a prize” brigade. It’s funny that just the other day I received an offer from Which? magazine (who conducted the survey in the BBC report in Jessy’s article) saying I had already passed two important stages in the process of selection and I had to put some stickers on some letters to claim one of three cars, or £300,000, or something. I just threw them away.

/ 6 January, 2006The advice that they gave on the TV programme is that don’t give money for bigger money! “If it is too good to be true, it probably is!” I remember this is one of the Murphy’s Law too! It is really worrying that there are people actually falling into the trap when we all can SEE IT.
