GIVE A LOT

You know I'm getting tired of reading these givealittle stories where people have their hands out for on-line donations.
They aren't asking for coins here but usually for tens of thousands of dollars.

Just so you don't think I'm a real mean bastard I do feel sympathy for genuine family catastrophes and we have in the past donated money to funds for sick children and people in dire circumstances but recently there have been a lot of people 'aving a laugh'.

In Australia there was a woman pretending to have cancer. There was another young couple who wanted to fund their world travel plans. There's an on-going rort targeting elderly Chinese women.


This latest one really pisses me off:

SAVING MY INHERITANCE

The story behind this is the woman contracted to buy an Auckland apartment knowing full well that she couldn't afford it but was hoping to be able to quickly flick it off at massive profit due to the astronomical rise of Auckland property prices. She got caught by the slowdown in the property market and now has to front up with the purchase price or lose the $60,000 deposit. She has created the givealittle page to raise money using a pathetic 'my inheritance money' story and trying to pull on heartstrings. Here's the full story by Anne Gibson:   Anne Gibson NZ Herald




Boo hoo.

Pwetty pwetty please?

Unfortunately a lot of idiots will contribute and it doesn't hurt that she's easy on the eyes.

Pathetic.
