2769...Apparently People Lie On The Internet

A lot.

And everywhere else too.

Josh Wingrove in yesterday's Globe and Mail wrote about "Investment in complex fraudulent schemes is on the rise in Canada, fuelled by technological advances and the popularity of social media, warns a new report on organized crime."

According to a report, The Criminal Intelligence Service Canada report, released by Bill Elliott and the Queen's Cowboys, thirty eight per cent of us have been approached by fraud artists. Not surprising, if I had a dollar for everytime I won a million dollars online I would be a millionaire. What is surprising to me is that 11 per cent of us have taken the bait and over a third of those put in 5,000.00$ [or more].

There is good news in the report: "The senior officers attending the report's release said they aren't aware of any debit cards that contain security chips, now favoured by banks, being compromised."

Now, if any of you want to d o u b l e, no t r i p l e your money in the next 7 days just send a certified cheque, made out to cash to: Me, In Care of Here.

That's Me, In Care of Here.
