The Sucker In Some Of Us.

I would like to tell a fishy story. Phishing is like fishing. The baits are released into the waters and all the anglers have to do is to wait. Probably under the cool comfort of the shade nibbling away the F&B duly paid for. The world is full of suckers eager to waste their money.

An unsuspecting fish swam along and took the bait. By that time it would have been a little too late! A fish has been hooked!

Internet banking is good. No queuing, no waiting the banks tell us. But do not be completely hooked on the idea that internet banking is safe like heaven. It could very well be hell for some. Ask the doctors, the lawyers and the judge. They are highly educated and they’re not stupid. They’re just careless and foolish enough to be fooled by the scams.

This is a frightening situation where many people are easily duped into believing everything that is in the internet. Many are incurably stupid and failed to see “beyond the click”. And in keeping up with the times, many have somehow forgotten history!
