Greed

Today's the Star and Malay Mail reported a (stupid) millionaire lost his RM3.0 millions to black money scam and a lady interior designer lost her RM200,000 in a Nigerian e-mail scam.

Why are these people are soooo f***king stupid? Though it was their money, but why are they so dumb? Didn't they ever read newspapers? Similar cases have been highlighted too many times in the news and they still fell prey to this bogus scheme. According to the paper, this year alone 12 cases have been reported with losses amounting RM3.9 million. Last year, there were 24 cases with losses amounting to more than 1.0 million.

The police, quite rightly pointed out that they were also investigating the victims as the police believed that the victims must have realised they were getting involved into something illegal but went ahead anyway, driven by greed.

Yes, there's nothing more than greed. In the case of the millionaire, he already have millions (of course, otherwise he would not be called one), three wives and 13 kids (as reported in the Star). He sold off jewellery belonging to his three wives as well as two houses and a car to raise the money and made out 20 payments totalling RM3mil over the past year before it dawned on him that he had been duped. What else do you want? More money?!!

Lots of money but nothing in the head. In this case, his eyes and mind were 'blackened' by GREED. Enuff said.
