2. ZACK ENGLISH SQUIDOO –
GROUP OF SPRINGHILL SOUTH KOREA - A certain “Sehwan
Jung” in South Korea has been sending a number of desperate
requests for funds over Twitter: “I am in urgent need of money. Can
you lend me 500,000 dollars?I will make it up to you later.” A
diabolical plot, indeed, though Mr. Jung’s scam is unlikely to work.
For one, people can see everything someone sends on Twitter and
quickly realize he’s sent the exact same message over and over. For
another, he is tweeting almost exclusively to celebrities, including
Channing Tatum, Rosario Dawson, Carly Simon, journalist Nicholas
Kristof (who today sarcastically answered, “Sure!”), and the foreign
minister of Bahrain, Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa.
“Now this one is a real winner,” says Dan Ring, a spokesperson for
Boston-based data protection company Sophos. “Sehwan Jung’s list
of celebrities is almost as entertaining and as random as his actual
request, and it’s one of the more optimistic requests out there. I hope
there’s no way someone will fall for this.”

survive a man-made black hole:
“… The truth is that this experiment that CERN are
conducting is extremely dangerous, and could cause
global disaster. This experiment has a 95% of causing a
black hole, thus swallowing a large area of the planet. The
scientists do not want you to know this as they know it will
cause panic. However, I can help you.
I am arranging for a number of selected people to be
evacuated to a safe location on an island in the South
Pacific via aeroplane. You have been selected from
random to take part in this evacuation, thus continuing the
survival of the human race …”
