I fall for it every time!
You get a letter through the door, or a leaflet in a magazines saying you've won a top prize! Either £25,000 cash, £10,000, £5000, £500, £50, holiday vouchers, a Playstation2, or a new microwave oven!!
You phone them up (it costs about £1.50 a minute!!!) and guess what?? YOU'VE WON THE HOLIDAY VOUCHERS !!
It happens every time - you NEVER win cash! So the phone call has just cost you about 7 quid and you've got some totally useless holiday vouchers which you can only use between June 21st and June22nd, provided it's not a day of the week with a 'D' in it and the temperature is between 23 degrees and 24. Also you can only go to some rubbish French coastal town which has 1 bar and a 1 star hotel with rats in the bathroom!
But I fall for it every time! No more I tell - NO MORE!
Scams!

I used to like them scratch card thingys for catalogues when I was a kid. My parents would discard them with the rest of the junk mail and I'd get em, get busy scratching and sure enough I was a winner everytime!!
I was saving them for when I was older thinking I'd have a whole list of goodies waiting for me!!

I am getting memories from my youth here!!! I found 1,000's of scratchcards, I had a penny and a crossbow in the other hand!!! Boy can those crossbows throw an arrow!! Back in the day when lethal weapons were legal in UK. Now guns are not allowed at all over here!!!jizhomer wrote:I used to like them scratch card thingys for catalogues when I was a kid.
