    This website[^] claims that it can read your mind. You are supposed to pick a card and then click on a button. On the next page your card won't be there. And to find out how they did it, just make a $10 dollar donation. Uh.... How about the fact that none of the cards on the first page are on the second page. Seriously, If you go to this site, write down all of the cards on the first page. There are only six. Then click to go to the next page. And none of the original cards are there. They just swap the King of Hearts with the King of Diamonds and display one less card. Are people really that freaking stupid that they wouldn't notice? And then pay $10 dollars. (Maybe I shouldn't ask) I'm gonna start a site and ask for donations. Anybody have any really basic scams that a 5 year old can figure out. It can probably make a lot of money. ...

    Here's another new kind of scam - pretend to be complaining about a scam and then actually promoting it.

        That's the same type idea as this[^], except I think it's a little more obvious that it's cheating :) Paul ;)

              You know that sum they make you do? The only possible outcome is a multiple of 9. Notice any pattern regarding the pictures corresponding to multiples of 9? ;) Paul ;)

                  I don't know why you call it a scam ? It is providing a service for either silly or ignorant people. Regardz Colin J Davies

                  And the service would be... taking away their money before they can get a papercut from it. ...
