from what I've read the majority of their "clients" are lawyers and bankers.Slim wrote:I often wondered just who would bite on something that blatent.
My Mom was the same way. In fact when she was hospitalized, I took the bold step to cancel one of her solicitors who sent mail which said that if you buy this and that, you'll be entered to win blah blah blah. Wouldn't you know, as soon as she was back holding the reins, the deliveries started arriving again. She was convinced she would win BIG someday. It never happened........GeoffW wrote:It's not only email- it's also in the snail mail in a big way.
My elderly father has fallen for it. He is sending money out every day, convinced he will be able to buy a new car very soon with his winnings. Nothing we can say makes a difference.
but no surprise.
Yeah, I have a friend my age at the nursing home who's in the same boat. I keep telling him it's garbage but he's convinced otherwise. Sad thing is that it isn't much money but think of all the "suckers" who bite...Skitterbug wrote:... My Mom was the same way...
My father, on the other hand, got bilked because he thought that he had to pay anything that looked like a bill and that if you received something in the mail, you owed the sender, even if you didn't order it and didn't want it. He wasn't greedy, he was trying to be honest.GeoffW wrote:My Mom was the same way.
