A Simple Guide to Long-Distance Action Scams
Tuesday, July 26, 2011
Say I work in Canada and you live in New Zealand. Your computer has “stopped working” – whatever that means – and you contact me.
My solution is “Send me some money and I’ll fix your computer”. You send me some money and here’s my solution:
1: Collect the first seven books or magazines you come across wherever you are right now.
2: Power off and UNPLUG your computer power source
3: Arrange the seven books by number of pages, shortest publication on the top of the pile.
4: Select the 3rd book from the top.
5: Read the third paragraph down on the 17th page, out loud, for exactly 5 minutes.
6: Close your eyes and count, silently, to one hundred.
7: Plug in the computer and power it up.
Of course, your computer now works and you’re delighted.
Great!
Tell all your friends about my miraculous powers of fixing problems.
- Can you spot the reason why my method works?
- Can you spot others who offer similar solutions to alternate problems?
