Edison generator? Legit or scam

 Every minute a sucker is born.  Are you the one?

Just a while, an ad came into my screen luring me to an Edison invention that generates free electricity.  Naturally this post tried to verify this against other sites and just as I suspected, it is a scam.  Beware.

Generator Plans Legit or A Scam?

Given the complete analysis of how the Edison Lost Generator Plans operate, there is an obvious conclusion:

The Edison Lost Generator Plans are a scam designed to take advantage of consumers, with no ability to actually deliver on advertised claims.

Avoid falling for the exaggerated marketing and false promises. The incomplete instructions have no educational value and do not allow someone to build a working generator from scratch. Additionally, getting a refund is made intentionally difficult.

This post nearly got scammed by former business colleague

 Every minute a sucker is born

I could have been that sucker.

Before there was this former high ranking state university regent Prez of a db, and who ran a housing company.  We did the housing construction for him, he did the bank matters and marketing.   He had a plush office in Makati CBD and was married to a very very rich family.

The last time I heard he was in the land of milk and honey and lately he sought my friendship in a social media and inquired if this post has heard about at World Bank program to give aid to the poor.  This post tried to get access to the website but it was only processing loans.  Then he referred me to a person, a Chinese whom he said processed the grants. He asked me to fill up a form which I did and answered in an hour (without using the agency's form) that I have been approved for $100,000.  However this is the catch I had to pay the delivery charge of 1% of the grant.  I said just deduct from the grant.  I did not hear from them again.

Sounds like a variation of Nigerian scam.  How could a former colleague try to lure me into a scam?  Life is so hard at that country.

Those seeking pity on sick relative could be a scam bait

 We often see post of pictures of sickk baby, parents, seeking even P1 donation to help them with their hospital bill.    But I was repeatedly warned that this could be bait.

One donation could be enough to clear your G cash or bank account. So beware.   

Deception (scamming the enemy) a practice in military war strategy

 The biggest practitioner of scam are the military strategist and generals:

1.  Thisi was prescribed in the Sun Tzu's Art of War.:   appear able when unable, or appear unable when able.   Feign weakness when strong, and vice versa

2.  Hannibl surprised the Romans when his elephant army scaled the steep Alps mountain where is not expected to be appear.

3.  In WW 2, in counter offensive vs Germans, the Allied forces did the following:

   1.  Re assigned Gen Patton, supposed head of the counter offensive to other areas to fool the Germans that the invastion was elsewhere;

   2.  There were fake documents and beached officers who carried documents that the invastion was to be in Italy.  There were fake tanks and even ships that were made to make the Germans think that the invastion was to be elsewhere and not at Germany

   3.  In battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the Japanese did not oppose the amphibious landing to lull the Americans into thinking that battle was light and that the islands resistance was weak.  Thereafter, the Japanese pincered the Americans into meat grander warfare.   War of attrition and severe fighting.

4.   In 1990, at Operation Desert Storm, battle at Iraq, the alliies feigned that the offensive would be at Kuwait, but in reality it would be at Bagdad HIghway   The US Airforce mangled the Iraqui battle equipment.  It was a carnage.  

   To t3rrorize the tank personnel, the Allies dropped speakers with play back of screaming jets and /or Apache helicopters so give the impression of relentless Allied attack.  

Feigning, deceiving the enemy to catch him offguard.  The magicians also deceive the audience by redirection and deceiption. 

Generals and magicians -  bunch of scammers
