Unfortunately it’s a scam. Scammers like the one you are about to meet are all over the internet. The chance at “gifts” if only you send a small amount on cash app first. Or perhaps, they will attempt to steal your profile so they can contact your friends as you and continue to find victims. Victims who in all likelihood are lacking the cognitive abilities required to recognize this as a scam. William Rockefeller Sr. would have been proud.
Who is William Rockefeller Sr.? Barbara joins us now to find out.
I like to talk about famous rich families and the way they finagled all that money. It’s not that they work harder, or smarter than the rest of us, it’s that they lack the morals to earn money in an ethical way. Something Barbara might know a thing or two about.
