�Scams Yes, again.�

People sometimes tell us that we can stop talking about scams now. Everyone understand, we’re told. Everyone now knows that you can’t win a lottery you didn’t enter, that total strangers don’t contact you offering to share their inheritance with you, that miracles don’t actually happen.

But it’s not true. There are still plenty of people out there who don’t understand, who still fall for what many of us would think are obvious scams. The gullible are still with us. And guess what? It could be you or if it isn’t you then it could be someone you know and care about.

Congratulations Anicia Gaothuse!

The contest had 10 beautiful young girls as finalists and unfortunately only one could wear the crown.The judges picked Anicia Gaothuse. To all those who feel their contestant should have won ahead of Anicia for whatever reason, hardly; the judges found Anicia to be the best among the best, so desist from disrespecting our newly crowned queen on social media or anywhere else, for that matter! Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
