All Sri Lankans are classic dupes -- anything for
a quick buck. Always looking for the non-existent 'short cut' and
how to bend the rules, if not to ignore the rules completely. Always
expecting handouts and subsidies from the government or the western
taxpayers (which is fast drying up). Always expecting high living
standards whilst having the highest number of holidays in the world
and voting for war. We want the living standards of Singapore whilst
doing 5% of the work Singaporeans do. What better place is there
in the world for crooks and scammers to set up business, often with
the backing of top people? Goldquest, Seagull, Pramuka Bank et al
are only the beginnings. More crooks will come and more gullible
Sri Lankans will be suckered. It will go on until we get out of
the mentality of living on THE HANDOUT ....
People who submitted their 'homework' of excel
sheets are wondering what happened to all that stuff they submitted.
I'll bet the scammers must have laughed and just
pressed the delete button every time they received an 'upload' of
the useless data. One is tempted to ask, "What on earth were
the subscribers thinking?", except that they were not thinking
at all.
