For those who’ve recently received an email from a Nigerian Prince asking for a small sum of money now to help him out of a financial bind, don’t trouble. I actually have already paid it and must be receiving an expeditious reward in the shape of gold bricks. It’s a great feeling.
Thank goodness I didn’t fall for any scams. You are probably accustomed to them; The Ponzi scheme, for instance, whereby current investors are paid only by recent investors until the jig is up and the brand new investors dry up. Without naming names, one very famous financial advisor used this ruse and Madoff with tens of millions.
