Re: call me synical but...

*L*

we get loads of stuff like this in islam and i think wait a min is that OUR goat or some animal they've got off the net?

about a yr ago we had some guys come around sayin they were raising cash for an orphanage in afganistan. normally its like ok here's a quid two b on ur way but these guys were prepared - presentation pics and all sorts. mom fell for it hook line and sinker. they even had loads of pics of kids - pass port size and they wud give u one sayin that is the kid ur cash is goin to. mom was dead impressed so she gave i think 140 or sommet for two kids to b clothed,fed and sheltered in this place. she told my aunt and my aunt who was recovering after a breast cancer op wanted to do her bit and she gave the same amount. again nice lil pics of the kids etc all fine adn good

6 months later we had a dci come in sayin it was all a scam and they'd been pocketin the cash etc and they got prosecuted. but i was thinkin bloody hell that is one deeply prepared scam.

i wud've just told em to go away as i needed the cash for my ipod...
