She's 83 years old, and quite with it, with a good sense of humor, but my friend told me she gets suckered into believing each one of them, and wants to send money to the most believable ones. I've met her, and talked to her and would never believe she could believe this flowery verbage, but he has to get to them in the mail before she does or else she'll send off a check. I think these scams prey on the old and lonely who play bingo on a bi-weekly basis. END QUOTE
In keeping with not believing anything I read, I must continue to doubt even TIKI TONY (whom I have never met -- no, really). Tony, any chance you are on a skiing holiday at the moment somewhere in the mountains. YODEL-AY -HEE HOO!!!
People around the age of 83 tend to be hardcore spendthrifts, having lived through the depression. I don't understand about this generalization of old people wanting to send off money because they have nothing better to do. Gambling, yes, but please help me out with this story of YOUR FRIEND -- who works in some old lady's house doing ceramics. I have no doubt there is a database of people who have purchased certain kinds of luck enhancers. That I can imagine. But, really.... We have to get to the bottom of this.
Perhaps the better question is, what proof do we have that you can't buy luck? Perhaps there is some advantage to it, even if Ed McMahon never shows up at your door with the oversized check.... But I digress.
This is really fun.
