A few months ago, someone I know sent an email to me with this picture and instructions to pass it on to everyone I know. The ‘ol chain letter idea gone digital. The image is supposed to be of a Money Goddess…and supposedly the more people I forwarded it to, the more successful I’d be in receiving great riches afterwards. Let’s say I believed it…or even if I just wanted to pass it along as harmless fun, on anything like this, I’m suspicious that someone might have embedded some sort of virus or invisible program code in the email that will harvest addresses from me and everyone it’s sent to and then send them to someone someplace. As you can see I’ve become quite cynical and paranoid about spam. But I liked the picture…she’s kind of cute and colorful huh?…and so I copied the image and saved it. (I did pass the image file through the virus scanner 5 times first though just to be safe!) Instead of forwarding the email and picture, I printed it and have her on my bulletin board watching over my daily operations. I figure, what can it hurt? If it doesn’t work, then I’m no worse off than before…and if it does work, well, that would be good…right? With tax time coming up soon and heading out of the slower winter months, I thought we all could use a little more positive financial energy. So, I have decided to share it with everyone I could afterall. Don’t worry though, no Trojan Horse viruses or address gleaners added.
May this bring you good fortune…and may your bank account overfloweth.
