I’ve just won a holiday
“They need my credit card”
No easy thing to give away
I made their life quite hard

I sounded pleased and happy
The trap worked in reverse
The holiday is terrific
They quoted almost verse

They tried to beg then threaten
Make me feel a fool
I gave them so much rope
Could have hung a mule

They quoted names and places
I tried hard not to laugh
To me it was pathetic
Just one big load of gas

They must make a living
Some would take the bait
End up loosing money
Find out far too late

I wish I could stop them
From hurting other folk
So if you get such offers
Remember it’s a Joke

You never pay for prizes
You will report their scam
Let others know about it
Or do the best you can

Free Cruises at www.greatvacationdestinations.com all you need is to give them your credit card details….. err but not American Express (who no doubt have blacklisted them?)

Interesting...One time someone called me to try to sell me insurance and I never answered and they started leaving messages...so one day I called them and told them to never call my number again if they knew what was good for them...I think they got my number when I responded to something on the internet, where they ask for addresses and phone numbers, and then they sell your number and before you know it every fool with a phone has your number...James

I feel sorry for those who receive mail or email saying they have won something they never even applied for... all those lotteries from Nigeria etc...

or those long lost relatives from foreign countries who have died and left you money...if only you send them some first to receive the rest

except for those who are elderly and aren't thinking clearly or are maybe just hoping, I find it hard to believe that people today think they can get something for nothing...the old saying still stands "if it looks too good to be true then it isn't true."
