Everybody Needs a Hero


Everybody needs a hero. My wife has one. Despite my incessant insinuations, it is not me. But she was gracious enough to concede that if I was the last man on earth, she will choose me.

I have been looking for a hero and I almost found one, last week.  How did I find my hero?  I saw this website (an image extract is shown below).


Fascinatingly, she made 7,397 dollars (about 4 lakhs) a month and she finds it comfortable enough to replace her old job. Mind you, it is just comfortable and nothing to jump about. I wonder what her old job was?
As per the this website, her story has been seen on Sky News, BBC News, Daily Telegraph, Financial Times, Dainik Jagran, Lokmat etc.  Amazing!

Our valiant Bombay heroine was struck by curiosity. With amazing restraint she did not strike back. What did she do? She got the best of it and filled an online form. Now, I would have never thought of filling an online form when I am struck by curiosity. It is such actions that have made her my hero.

To continue her story, she has finally discovered how to beat the recession. Some very fine minds and some people in the US Federal Reserve, RBI to name a few others has been pondering on this challenge. They haven’t solved it yet. It is this rapier insight that has made her my hero.

Deciding to follow on my hero’s steps I delved deeper into the process.  I too wanted $ 7,397 per month. She was spending 13 hours per week. I was willing to work 26 hours per week. I did a quick calculation on my calculator (it is a very quick calculator) and figured I would make $ 14, 794 per month. To round it off to $15,000 I decided to work an extra hour per week.

The next step on this path to richness was filling in the ‘Simple Online Form’. Yes, it is very simple. Almost all the information they asked was optional.  The only mandatory information required was your credit card details. The website was very particular about this. I assumed, they are perhaps, doing a survey for the credit card companies.

Alas, not having a credit card has blocked my path to fabulous wealth.

P.S – On a serious note, dear reader, this is a scam. To prove my point, I am giving below the website’s fine print. It is quite hilarious.
