I don't know how it is where you live, but here in Texas, every other
commercial on TV is a Lawyer.

I desperately need a $20,000 loan to get my credit back into shape.
It's out of control and I need at least $1,000 right now just to keep a
roof over my head. Name your interest.
Or, if you just want to help... you can paypal me --

Thanks a bunch.


I cannot believe it. A scam if ever I saw one, and it seems that there's
at least a few people who are taking it seriously.

A begging letter for a loan where the interest rate isn't important.

Come on people! Think!

The only loan where you don't care about the interest rate is one where
you aren't going to pay any interest, no matter what the rate is! And if
you aren't paying interest, why pay any principal back either?

It's a scam.

From an anonymous, untrackable email account. Via paypal... effectively
anonymous, untrackable.

It's a scam.

For the greedy, you're going to name your interest rate and get rich off
this poor sucker's desperation.

It's a scam.

And, for those who are taken by the sob story but aren't rich enough for
the 20 grand hit, you can hand over a thousand right now.

It's a scam.

Sheesh!
