So everyone in this day and age has become familiar with internet scams. There are some very unlucky ones who have actually fallen victim to these. I do have some sympathy for these people, but they should have used some judgment at a certain point when they were asking for some very personal information. You dont give them your social security number, credit or bank account number. If these people send you something wanting to give you something they would never need that there are ways of "giving" you something without the need of this information. man what the heck is going on with you
Why are you saying things we already know you might ask? I still carry some of that child like innocence with me that dreams and thinks about things I want to do. I recently received one of these lovely emails promising me 600,000 pounds (roughly $918,000) and I actually found myself believing this was real because everything seemed to look legit. I did not send them any personal info, but I did find myself fantasizing as to what I would do with that money. I know most people think that they would frivolously send it on crap they dont need. For me I dreamed of buying the first home for me and my wife and paying off our 2 cars (granted we dont owe much) and paying for school and then buying the 2 dogs we want. Now I write this because in getting caught up in this made me edge myself closer to freedom. Freedom from having to pay for anything anymore. I wouldnt owe any bills, only taxes every year. My money would really be mine and it would not have to be used to pay off loans for school, or a house, the car, credit card (I dont have credit card debt just trying to make a point really). I now feel like a person who has tasted their first hit of coke or heroin and their face lights up because of the euphoric feeling they just got from that first wonderful hit. I can officially say that I am addicted to that feeling and I want it back. I know the American dream is that anything is possible and after having this taste I want my dream to come true. I dont want to be in my 50's or 60's before it happens. The magic number for me is 300,000.
