The Super Idiot's Guide to Not Falling for Million-Dollar Scams
1. **The Email from a Distant Relative**: If you receive an email from a long-lost relative who happens to be a prince and wants to share his fortune with you, remember, your family tree doesn't have royal branches. Just hit delete!
2. **The Lottery You Never Entered**: Winning a lottery is great, but winning one you never entered is like being struck by lightning while finding a four-leaf clover at the end of a rainbow. It's not your lucky day, it's a scam!
3. **The Too-Good-To-Be-True Investment**: If someone offers you an investment opportunity that promises to double your money overnight, remember the golden rule - if it's too good to be true, it probably is. Stick to your piggy bank!
4. **The Mystery Shopper Job**: If you're offered a job as a mystery shopper where your first assignment is to use a gift card to send money, the only mystery is why you'd consider it. Spoiler alert: it's a scam!
5. **The Tech Support Scam**: If a pop-up warns you about a virus on your computer and you need to pay to have it removed, don't panic. The only virus is the scam itself. Your antivirus software is the real hero here.
Remember, being a super idiot isn't about lacking intelligence, it's about forgetting to use common sense. So, use your head, trust your gut, and keep your wallet closed!
