Bitcoin and the Lagos Scam

 Miles apart but the same scam


Years ago, the Police, and the banks warned people of the Lagos scam; so called as it originated in Nigeria.
Someone will contact you with the oppportunity to get rich quick - use rule 101 - if something looks too good to be true, it usually is.
In the Lagos scam, they said if you sent £1,000, they would send £7,000 back next month.
Bitcoin is similiar, they tell you that you can quadruple your outlay in three months; I don't know much about stocjs and shares, but that sounded "iffy" to me.
Some months ago, out of the blue, I was contacted by an attractive young lady from New York; that immediately sent the warning flag up the pole. The more she went on about the benefits of investing, the more I wondered how much she stood to gain.

There is only one thing certain with Bitcoin, as soon as you start trading, any trasnsaction you do will be flagged by the police in all countries.

I am offended again

 The lady is NOT my type Though I am olde, and have standards, I am not a stic-in-the-mud, it does take someting nasty to offend me, and for the second time it has happened.  As with the first incident , the offense involved a young colored lady with larrge breasts, I have nothing againsr coloured ladies, I wasbot offended by this laady asking to see my penis as soon as we chatted, it was a little weird she was so forawrd when she'd only been chatting a few minutes to ask. What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..

 eBay extension Over the coming month, I hope to start selling some of my Warhammer Limited Edition books on eBay ; I did this some time ago with a little success. Many of the books are also signed, I never covered the cost I paid, my thinking is I may as well get something back as I never read the books, and there maybe someone who will read the book .
