Aundrea Butler: "I received several emails at one point contacting me, saying someone's roots had been searched back years, and I was supposed to be getting money for an inheritance in another country. There was no way. I knew I wasn't related to anyone in another country. I kept on getting them, but just deleted them– didn't even respond."

Sandy Cohen: "Never."

Patrick Gibson: "Not lured in, but on Craigslist, people do try to do it all the time. They'll try and say, 'I'll send someone over to pick up your item that's for sale and then I'll wire you the money later.' Of course not; it's pretty stupid."

Listen to the Alex Jones Show online any time of day or on shortwave radio. Don't waste your time being propagandized by Amy Goodman and NPR. Get the real scoop on the government while you still can.

NPR is a scam. So is democracy now with Amy Goodman, Glenn Beck's show, Rush Limbaugh's show, and Barack Obama's presidency. One thing that isn't a scam is the Alex Jones Show, which you can listen to any time of day online. Also on shortwave radio from 12-4pm EST and 10pm-2am weekdays.
