David Rhodes Chain Letter Scam

I made a whole 5 cents today, just for walking to the mail box... pretty cool hey!?
Not! because it means yet another poor sucker has fallen for the long running and often tailored version of these chain letters offering guaranteed fortunes by simply participating in a mail out... O and sending a ten dollar 'gift' to the addressee in number one spot.
I mean seriously people... Don't fall for it if you receive one. Your smarter than that! You've heard of STRANGER DANGER, right? We work long and hard for every dollar we earn and yes things might be getting tighter BUT.... Don't throw it away with the lure of becoming rich in a chain letter. Cos you'll surely regret the hefty fine that may greet you in the weeks following a post out.
Not convinced, still think it'll be a bit of fun?
Google it before you act.... or check out some Australian Fair Trading sites for similar scams. And remember.... If it sounds too good to be true... it usually is!
