The scam
My mother actually called those internet ads that says ‘Click here to win $1000!!’. You know what I’m talking about. Those banners that are placed in websites and it’s blinking.. She actually called the phone number thinking that she’d win the $1000.
Yes my mom doesnt really use the internet like me. She doesnt even know how to check her email. She has like so many emails because she keeps signing up for she always loses her password or she doesnt check her emails that it becomes deactivated… Yeah so when she does check her emails, I worry that she might end up opening an email that has a virus on it. When I check my email, I dont open forwards because I’m paranoid that they have virus attached on them. Then now I cant even monitor it when she’s opening her emails and they have this funny videos attached. :slant: Yeah so she got so excited when someone actually picked up so that she can claim her prize… :ashamed: But it turns out it was a trip in Florida that they were offering. She sounded so disappointed on the phone because she really wanted the cash…
You cant even claim the prize because you have to be a citizen and I think American.. Then when she hung up, I told her that it was all a scam and that to not fall for it again… :grin:
