Yesterday i nearly fell victim to a hoax. Women are usually very gullible and i am certainly one of these women. I was checking email when i saw one of my contacts online in windows live messenger. This person ,who happens to be my pastor, told me that he is right now in London and has lost his wallet and air ticket. He asked for my help and asked whether i could remit some cash to him asp. I then asked why he did not contact other members who are in better position than me to help him. The answer was they all turned him down. Then i began to call other members to inform them our pastor's predicament. After a few calls, it was found to be a hoax. Pastor was away in Kampar, a small town about an hour's drive away.
At that moment, when i read about him being stranded in London. All sorts of thoughts went through my mind except the rational ones. After it was found to be a hoax, i went through the conversation and i was really silly to fall into this. First of all, pastor being pastor, will never travel in a taxi cab in London. He would have certainly use the underground to go places. His return ticket would not be in his wallet. And he would certainly have gone to the nearest Methodist mission to seek help.
So yesterday, i was thankful i am not a cash rich person. I survive on my monthly small pension only with occasional sale of soya milk and cookies to go by. But then, if i am cash rich, will i be willing to part with my cash......that is the question.
