Fortune and Fraud

Random thoughts:
Read a curious news in Ananda Bazar Patrika, Kolkata edition, on 26th June, 2008.


An astrologer has been cheated by a hoax mail! He has lost 7lacs!
It's nothing but a common cheating mail with different formats...
1. Sometimes it claims that you have won a huge lottery and need to deposit some fees to get the money transferred to you!
2. A wealthy person has died and you are the inheritor, to get the money you need to deposit this and that!!

These frauds operate from Nigeria. Again it's a common knowledge. Nigerian frauds are rampant in India!!
I have got those mails so many times in the past three years! One was hilarious, it claimed I had won a Toyota Car and they need my contact details!

This astrologer got the bait, encouraged by his son who is studying in South Africa who actually got that mail.
They exchanged 100 mails between them and deposited money 7 times before realizing they had been cheated!!

The point is astrologer tells our fortune. What it's in there in our future! What should we do and don't do!
And see here, he has been duped! He can't see his own future!!
