I have absolutely no idea if you made the phone call up, weird comment to make. And as for 'people' out there, one, one example of it but that means that they are all scammers.

Have you been sniffing the brandy butter a bit early this year?

Where did I say they are all scammers?

I gave one example of a scam and suggested people be a little cautious.

But just for you I will rephrase it cos you are clearly having comprehension issues. Ok here goes

“If you are thinking about giving money to a Facebook raffle. Please bare in mind that I know of at least one case where a person, unknown if they were a male, a female, or identified as gender neutral, of unknown ethic origin, ran a scam on Facebook for a prize that didn't exist.”

There you go. Do you feel better now?

I can't help but always look at it that way too.

That probably explains how I was the only FX trader in the city that couldn't fill out a betting slip.

I strongly suspect that a lot of them are run by scammers...


That was your quote so I can see where his confusion came from to be fair...


Personally I've won shed loads from them and have to say long may they continue!

LOL. If you think all these are scammers then you probably also believe everything you read on social media....

BOTB is no scam. There's a fella I know who won a Porsche 718 Cayman and £20k in cash! He kept the car for six months and then sold it. Agree though, there are some dodgy goings on out there, but BOTB isn't one of them.

My nephew won a Skoda many moons ago when phoning up his answer that was asked on supermarket sweep.

Needless to say back in the day he sold that Skoda.

I too won a Skoda in a raffle...
Before I picked it up from the dealership I asked the salesman if it was the 16 valve model.
He replied Skoda only made 8 valve engines .
I had to tell him I was enquiring about the radio !

Sadly a lot of people get hooked on these sort of things
be it lotto , or scratch cards, facebook raffles all are ok if you buy into it and not EXPECT to win problems arrive when people see things they dont have a realistic prospect of owning and get hooked into thinking they will win
