While reading Marie's posts on how she and her hubby had become instant millionaire's from Publishers Cleaning house I used the word "HOAX"
I absolutely love the word and all these scams are truly just that: "A hoax is a deliberately fabricated falsehood made to masquerade as the truth."
I normally win a few million in a sweepstake that I have bought in the UK - however I have never been to the UK, so I am not sure how I ever got to buy a ticket into the sweepstake.
Hoaxes - which is the plural - are played on many people daily and you are welcome to share those with us in your comments and responses.
Beware that you dont fall prey to any Hoax - an act that is meant to trick or deceive people.
Good Morning and a wonderful day wished for everyone.
I have the following song taking me the motions of the day - I hope it uplifts your mood as well and that you enjoy my choice of earworm ~ Pearly Shells

lol I am always inheriting millions from some non-existent relative, Given that I am a genealogist and know my family very well, they are wasting their HOAX on me

I read similar things in the internet, and also in WA messages. Since I was once hoaxed in the internet causing to lose some money. I learned a lot, though.
