Clyde Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I actually see nothing wrong with it. It's a bargain, caring for their pets for only $135 for 6 months. It is not a bargain when they are taking money from people when they know they will not have to provide any service. I get what you mean HW. I mean it's horrendously stupid so therefore it is funny. I have to admit I had a little snigger when I read about it. But now thinking that some little old lady on a pension could have parted with her last dime to have precious Fluffy cared for when she's gone is really quite sad. I don't know how people can pocket the money TBH, it's funny at first but when you delve in to it it's really just a low level rort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staranais Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Paying $135 for someone to care for your pet for the rest of its life? That wouldn't be enough to feed my dog for a few months, let alone the rest of her life. Sounds to me that both sides are taking advantage here. The atheists are accepting money for a service they don't believe they will have to perform. But the Christians are happy to pay an unfair price for a service they believe they will use.

Are You Serious Jo Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I'm starting to be in two minds about how much sympathy to give to people who get ripped off through stupidity. Especially those who do it based on greed, if something is too good to be true it is too good to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several hundred desperate people paying 135 bucks gave someone a nice little paycheck for doing nothing. Billions of dollars are lost every year because of the stupidity of people who believe scammers. It just makes you want to smack your head against the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to wonder how seriously they were taking it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoofnHoof Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I don't know if they were signing up for a huge committment though because supposedly it was 5 months until the end of the world anyway, so the assumption then becomes that all us unbelievers and the soul-less animals would be dead in 5 months regardless. Either way I agree with Jo it really is quite difficult to feel sympathy when people hand over cash for such an unlikely event, I'm all for people having their beliefs and what not but fair dinkum you do have to shake your head if they really think Jesus is going to take them to heaven and leave their pets to fend for themselves...

sandgrubber Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Although the world hasn't come to an end, it's interesting that massive, horrendous storms are moving through the Bible Belt. Perhaps the atheist crew should turn their mildly fraudulent gains to helping pets displaced by tornados. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
