Now, this brings us to the question, why am I talking about SCAM? well, everyone is a scammer in a way and everyone has been scammed in a way so before you judge others, take a look at the mirror. To be able to understand SCAM, we will have to go back, way back to very begining. SCAM started with Satan in the Gerden of Eden.

"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman.For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."......Genesis 3:4-5, as we can see clearly, the first scam was introduced here which will later become one of the the greatest problem of mankind.

Lets move on and let's start from the top (Government)

Before they get elected, they promise the masses Heaven and Earth, some go as far as promising the best of the best, after they get elected, all they care about is themselve and how to enlarge their riches...............is this a scam or misunderstanding because I don't Understand.

Moving On........A man walked into a shop to buy a product, he was attended by a sales man who tells him different things/functions of the product, he said, this is the best of the best, this is it, you don't have to look any further, now the man, with trust and confidence, believing on this sales man, buys the product, only to get home to find out that the said product did not do any of the things said by the sales man, now he rushes back to the store, on getting there, he was told "sorry sir this is not our product, are you sure you bought this here"............is this a scam or misunderstanding because I don't Understand.

Still on still......You walked into a taxi and ask the taxi driver, "am going to area 3, zone 2 block 1, do you know the place" then he turns around with a big smile of confidence in his face and say, "YES" now, you with confidence, trust and believe, say, ok let's go, on reaching Area 2 zone 1, he (the taxi driver) parks his car along the road, came down and start asking people around for direction......................is this a scam or misunderstanding because I don't Understand.

Still on the matter......Someone send you an email, promising you heaven and earth, now, you don't know the person, but you were entangled to the email due to the money involve (whcih is not your own), you replied the email and later on, you start spending money to receive what you did not work for or earn due to your greed and along the line, you realized "oh shit, I have been bleeped".........is this a scam or misunderstanding because I don't Understand.

End of Story........You saw a girl standing in a bus stop, you lean to her, soon both of you start talking, you start promising her heaven and earth, telling her how beautiful you think/know she is, telling her you want to spend the rest of your life with her , only to sleep with her and start avoiding her ......................is this a scam or misunderstanding because I don't Understand.


One for the road.............You walked into a police station, you see signs everywhere which read "Police is your friend" "bail is free" "the police is to serve and protect" only to ask for the release of your friend/brother/colleague/paddyman and you are ask to pay the bail fee yet the posters on the wall still reads in capital letter....BAIL IS FREE..........is this a scam or misunderstanding because I don't Understand.
