Greetings dear lucky winner,

I am Elon Reeves Musk born Pretoria S.A;I am an American technology entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist, and the founder, chief executive officer of Tesla, SpaceX and the current owner X.

Scripture makes it clear that God blesses us not so we can live with greed, but so we can bless others. God loves a cheerful giver. When He sees that someone is giving freely out of love, God blesses them more.

We're blessed to be a blessing. When God blesses you financially, don’t raise your standard of living. Raise your standard of giving.

I have a cybersecurity business that works with companies to develop security programs and test them. Sadly, we get plenty of calls for help after the fact and the pain is real, both financially and emotionally. I can't overstate how proud I am to see this group talking about it and sharing what they are coming across. A lot of them seem silly, but those crooks are still lining their pockets with other peoples hard earned money. I'll see if I can drop a few winners in here!

Just got the toll booth one today. Haven't been thru one of those since 1993.

Got this today

I won!

I was just now sitting here reading Hunt Talk and my phone rang.

IT WAS THE MANAGER OF PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE!

I won the whole damn thing. All I got to do is send some money for taxes and fees and in a couple of days I'll be sharing a cup of coffee in my living room, with good old Ed McMann as he hands me that big old giant check

My parents got a slightly more sophisticated Amazon phishing email and fell for it. No money lost, but they gave their bank info over and had to close everything down and reopen new accounts.

My wife got a text for a free resort vacation and called the # to play along. About 10 mins into the extremely sketchy conversation, my wife:

“Hey what’s your name?”
“Uh, we don’t give out that information.”
“Oh, really? If that isn’t f—-ing convenient.”
“…”
