    A Bahamas Cruise

    Sounds tempting, doesn't it!?

    Just the other evening, my wife answered a telephone call ... to be greeted by this American voice informing her she'd won an all-expenses-paid trip for up to 4 people. Turns out she'd unwittingly participated in an online survey of some kind a few weeks earlier ... but hadn't really given the matter any more thought since. Now, I daresay many 'westerners' are accustomed to scams of this sort, and would've hung-up before the words 'Florida Keys' could even be uttered. But this guy was a persistent ! And he managed to waffle on for a good five minutes - in spite of my wife trying to explain to him that the terms of her visa precluded her from taking up the offer - and ME gesticulating and mouthing "instructions" about [impolitely]telling him "where to go"!!

    What I'd be interested to know IS, how large-scale scams of THIS PARTICULAR nature work ... in terms of financing such elaborate operations.

    I'd have just told them that it wouldn't be possible to get a US visa due to my previous murder conviction
