A Good Scam Never Dies

One very important lesson I have learned is that a good scam
never dies. It just lives on and on. I sure can't explain it. You
would think that a scam would run its course, steal from as
many people as possible over a short time, and be done before
the law gets too close. For some scams, that's not true.

Is the old saying by Will Rogers the most likely reason for it.

Theres a sucker born every minute.

What a cruel thing to say.

But what else can explain it.

And is this a true statement? We try to figure out what it is
that makes us do the exact thing's that we know is wrong.
Does that make us a sucker?

You know the feeling you get when you send some money to
someone you don't know, hoping that whatever it is you send
that money for is real. You think to yourself, boy, I just hope
this works, or am I stupid for doing this. Does that make us a
sucker?

And you would have to think that the thief that is running the
scam has to get caught up to.

Let's say you read an ad and it says to send $ 49.99 and start
to make $5,000 a week within 30 days. You see this and you
just laugh. What a scam you say. Then you just go on with what
you were doing and forget it.

A month later you see this same ad again and think, man, that
ad is still running. What a joke. Then you just continue on to
whatever it is that you were doing and forget about it.

Then maybe a couple more months go by and you happen to
see this same ad, now you start to think. IS THIS A SCAM?
Unfortunately logic does not fit. Your beginning to think that
maybe there is something to this. How can this still be running
if it was a scam? They can't be running this ad over and over if
it was a scam. Right? Can they?

I know there is law enforcement agencies that scour the Internet
looking for scams and tracking down the thief's that run them.
If this is still running, there must be some truth to the ad. Now,
you begin to think, hey, Maybe it is real. Maybe this is the one
that will work for me. I don't want to miss out on something good.
I don't want to miss my opportunity to make the income that I've
been looking for.

So, guess what? Yup. You do it. You send your money and
you get the info that you sent your hard earned money for, and
then it hits you. And it hits you hard. Like a brick.

A damn scam! Why the heck did I do it? Am I stupid? Why did
I do it. I know better than that, don't I?

Does knowing better really help? NO. Why? It's simple. Because
I still went ahead and did it. Even though I knew better. What a
fool. A sucker. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb.

Who is to blame? Is there someone to blame? I guess we need to
put on the brake"s and hold up and think it out.

So, you start to think, really think.

Am I stupid? Can it be that all these so called scams that I have
spent so much money on , over the years, not be scams?

Can it be that it's been ME all along. Can it be that most, if not
all the program's and business opportunities, that I have spent
so much money and time on over the years, been REAL?

Is it that I'm just not smart enough to make money from home.
Or, not cut out to run my own business. Maybe I'm not looking
at it the way I should. Could it just be too hard for me to follow
the instruction's and direction I'm told to, in order to succeed?

Maybe there is no explanation. Maybe what will be will be.

And just maybe, I am a sucker that was born in that minute.
