What disturbs me is not the pitch, but the fact that people fell for it. Don't people think anymore?

To me the pitch has as much credibility as the idea that some official in Nigeria wants to use me to bring some money into the U.S. You are more likely to a Lottery than you are to spend $20,000 a year for 30 years without a break. There is no way you can collect on this even if the company had survived for 30 years.

Are we becoming a nation of robots who act without consideraing the possible result of our actions? I hope not. But then again...
