Do they really think people are that stupid?

Are they serious? Do people really respond to these things? I got this email, with a picture of a $1500 check and the message

seriously, the $1500 check could be deposited into YOUR account tomorrow!
  • No credit checks
  • Apply in 2 minutes
  • Nothing to Fax
  • Safe and secure


  • There are so many problems with this email. I won't even get into the evils of Payday Loans again. If you are interested, you can click on the appropriate label and read everything I have written about Payday Loans. The biggest thing I have with this email, is I have no idea who they are, and yet they want me to give them access to my bank account so that they can deposit $1500 for 14 days. Yeah right? Clean out my account is more like it. Do they really think people are that stupid?

    Another email I received in the last 24 hours proclaimed




    Get the things you need...
    ...regardless of your credit score!

    Your financial worries are over. Now you can get the credit line, auto loan, cash advance, or home financing that you need...even with bad credit.

  • Auto loans
  • Cash Advance
  • Cell Phones
  • Credit Lines
  • Debt Reduction
  • Home refinancing


  • Again, I don't do loans, but the big question again is, who are these people? How do I know i can trust them? Sorry, but to me advertising this crap through email, makes you look less reliable. I know people are stupid about paying interest instead of saving. Hell, it's clear I have been stupid, but now am trying to reverse my stupidity. But, are people really stupid enough, to answer these email ads? Are they that desperate, that they would risk their financial health even further by giving these companies they know nothing about, all their financial information?

    1. Well, I guess there are quite many people that are stupid. May be it's not even about disclosing financila information. May be those sompanies do give loans or other forms of credit but with horrible terms and conditions that literarly enslave people!
