STUPID PEOPLE MAKE GOOD BUSINESS
Stupid A receives a text message on her phone. The message says: "Congratulations from AF4 / PETRONAS / Kosmo! / Harian Metro etc! Your SIM card has won a RM5,000 / RM10,000 / RM20,000. Please call 0062&*&*&&#@ for more details."
Stupid A gets all excited and calls. The person on the other end of the line gives her a set of instructions, as well as an account number for her to transfer some fees before her cash prize is deposited into her own account.
Trusting with all her heart the person whose face she doesn't even see, Stupid A gladly follows the instructions, and waits with bated breath for her windfall.
Yup. Stupid A is stupid.
Stupid B gets an email from some exotic African country. The sender is a wife/daughter/son/niece/banker of some important dead person who left millions in some bank account not accessible to the kin or the banker.
If Stupid B is kind enough to help the sender access the money, Stupid B will receive a handsome reward, a nice fracture of the millions.
So Stupid B responds to the email, and is asked to deposit some processing fees, and waits for the handsome reward.
Yup. Stupid B is stupid, too.
Stupid C is notified through email that her email address is the main prize winner of a special lottery draw, and now a huge sum of money is waiting to be claimed. Stupid C responds to the email and is asked to do almost the same thing her cousin Stupid B was asked to do.
And, ditto.
Yup. Stupid C is also stupid. She is after all related to Stupid B.
One fine day, Stupid C's aunt walks to the market. Two guys, claiming to be clairvoyant, approach and offer her some magic stones that would heal her many ailments. As magic comes with an expensive price tag, auntie is persuaded by the two guys to go to her bank and withdraw money to pay for the stones.
Yup. Auntie is not very bright either.
At the other side of town, auntie's husband is sipping coffee at his favourite kopi tiam when he is offered some cards. "Yes, uncle. You scratch, you sure will win something. So scratch!"
A couple of hours later, the uncle scratches his head wondering what has happened.
Wait till he gets home to hear auntie's story.
