After reading this article, even though she's a victim, she's not. I believe she let her "greed" get the best of her and it landed her in a very compromising position. I feel bad for her but "some things in life aren't exactly free." Especially when it comes to money. <br />
My logic is faulty? Really? So personal accountability doesn't factor into this equation of a mess that she got herself into? ( o _ 0 ) "The best way to avoid being a victim? Don't expect to get something for nothing, don't send money to strangers in foreign countries."<br />
<br />
Why would anyone send money to a "total stranger" in a "foreign" country?!<br />
Please explain this to me if you can? If you do choose to send money to a stranger in a foreign country, know that you're doing so at your own risk. She's just a guilty. It's called greed and unfortunately for her, she lost more than she tried to gain. It's very unfortunate for her. The victim but she shares part of the responsibility. It's called "accountability."<br />
Ok. If you must, she's a "victim." A victim of her own greed. Don't think I'm not being empathetic. I feel for her. I really do. Ok. Case in point. The year is now 2005. I received a letter originating from Canada. According to this particular company, I had won a large sum of money in the Canadian lottery. I was instructed to contact them ASAP with my name, address, phone number, Social Security Number for verification, and bank routing number so that my winnings would be deposited into my account. Ok. Having said all of that, you figure it out for youself. Scam or no scam. Especially when I've never been to Canada. How did I win a lottery from Canada? ( ^ _ ^ )<br />
