Charity marketing? My balls

Had bio paper 3 exam today, was rather manageable. :) Then went to east point to buy a ball mouse for 6 dollars(had to control my expenditure) because my mouse was spoilt. On the way, picked up one interesting flyer...

Earn up to 60 dollars daily!
Parttime/Full time
Age 16 and above only!
Call Peter now at XXXXXXXXX

Of course, Peter was just a name that i randomly use( the real name on the flyer cannot say). Anyway, it was a job offer which seems rather irresitable so i called to enquire about the nature of the job. The guy picked up the phone and instantly said that he was not Peter because Peter was away at the moment. I began to be suspicious when he mentioned that the job was charity marketing. Charity marketing...hmmm, at once i suspected that the job was about selling charity tickets. I asked him to be more direct and he admitted that it was about selling charity tickets. EARN 60 bucks daily by selling charity tickets? How can it be possibe! It seems like a joke! I immediately sense that something was seriously amiss but i didn't convey it to him. I then asked him about the charity network and he replied that it was we-care charity. Seriously, i had never heard of such charity. I then asked him if the charity has a website, he then paused for a moment and told me that it was www.we-sharecare.org.com. I accessed this site and just as expected, no such webbie exist. The charity was all a bogus set-up, a set-up by sinister people who wanted to scam people of their money through selling bogus charity tickets. The website was probably also made up on the spot in order to convince me. Such horrendous actions! I declined and never talked to him again....

Oh yea! Next time, when you buy charity tickets, must be 100 percent sure that they are genuine, if not later hard-earned money goes to the wrong hands... In the end,the evildoers are the ones who are smiling, because they have just become 2 dollars richer....


At night, went out with friends at Tampines to had dinner. Orginally wanted to go gym but the idea was scrapped because one of my fren came in sandals. Lolx! Ok, it's getting late, shall end here for today.
