It is completely amazing all the scams out there in the world, many feed of people's egos and some folks would say; it serves them right! Well, maybe they have it coming to them for their shear arrogance, but a scam is a scam and these folks for whatever reason are victims and the scam artists, well they are unethical practitioners if not outright criminals.
How do such scams work? Well, they call you up and tell you that you have won an award and then they tell you to get your prize send them money. Pretty interesting isn't it, worse it works, people actually send in money for a plaque, trophy, certificate or a listing in a book. Of course, the book is $50 or more and the only reason they are in it, is because they bought the book, or trophy or plaque or high-priced certificate. Amazing!
This is a common scam - we've seen this for years. It actually works very well. You can tell by the number of consultants and "business coaches" that display pictures of these awards on their websites and include such awards in their resumes. Once you realize and notice this, you have to laugh at all the vanity, ego, and kudos generation going on these days. And isn't it a lot like folks purchasing fake degrees through mail order or online? Our society is rapidly becoming a group of cheaters from kids in college cheating on tests, athletes using steroids and politicians playing us and the media for fools.
It is my contention and realize I get at least one of these types of emails per week, that these types of scams and email offers will go on. Many of these types of groups are also calling blocks of business cell phone numbers as well. Their story sounds compelling and they are very good at ego stroking to get the orders. Think on this.
