This may sound a lil harsh, but seriously, lets face it.. isen't it the case that only fools fall for those scams..??!!.. Here are some pointers that even the naive knows:

1. These scams are not new. They have been exposed many times over the years and almost every known authority warned its citizens from reacting to those scams.

2. Ok, so I've never bought a lotto ticket on Mars, yet I believe that I won the lotto on Mars.. a bit strange..!!

3. I have a multi-million dollar company asking for my bank details to send me a truck-load of money.. If this multi-million dollar company decides to spend $25 they could enhance their operations with adding an option for their customers to chose the method of payment to include checks, bank to bank guarantees where their bank confirms their details before mine.. etc.. So they forgot to do that, and I thought it's cute, smiled and gave them the bank details..

In that case I would be the biggest fool walking around.

If it is true that people do actually fall for these pethatic tricks, then easy money does exist... EASY MONEY FOR THE SCAMMERS.
