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!!

I have also gone thru' that news and like others my mail box is also flooded with these kind of hoax mails....
neway, wishing u happy blogging and expecting more "random thoughts" in future......
best wishes........
...obviously, it is just about a story of a fraud against a fraud. There is no reason to believe that this astrologer could have any skills to carve or predict someone's future. Rather I find the other guy (who frauds the astrloger) has more skills then this person.
Hahaha! Very well said Suthirthada!!
Now for something different to discuss. Can you tell Why do we call Fraud a Fraud. What is his fault? If we go for a bit of soul searching...isn't there a fraud in all of us ? Haven't we cheated someone or the other, sometimes in our lives. We, as human beings are perhaps one of the rarest species who even fraud their own self. Dont we cheat our ownselves ?
When we all have to leave this earth empty handed...what do we claim as ours? To live on this earth we needed three basic things ..food, water and a shelter which nature had offered us. But imagine...now we start putting our claims on each of this. Who is not a Fraud then ?
Waiting for more in "random thoughts"
