Why this Cambodian blackjack scam is a lot like online marketing.

You probably haven't heard about the Cambodian Blackjack scam... But it's a common scam on the “backpacker” travel scene in South East Asia particularly in Cambodia. Here's what happens... You're on your “trip of a life time” and you meet a random local by chance. The local could be someone on the street, a “tuk tuk” driver, or a staff member in a bar or restaurant. You get chatting casually and the local asks the traveller where you are from. You reveal the information and the local says something along the lines of... “My daughter works in ” Basically they spin you a story about how someone from their family is there in YOUR home city. Then the local reveals “My daughter is back home for a holiday right now and I'm sure she would love to meet you”. Wow, what's the chances eh? Amazingly, not smelling a rat, you agree and off you go with a stranger to go meet the “daughter”. Surely a few choice questions from the traveller could easily punch holes in this story, right? When you get to the house of the local the “daughter” happens to be out but is “coming soon”. Whilst you're waiting they ask if you want to play cards. Doesn't sound suspect at all, does it? But it doesn't go down exactly like you probably expect it to... You start playing cards and your friendly local host reveals he's a Blackjack dealer at the local casino. After a while he shows you how to rig the deck and always deal winning hands. No money is on the table so you're not worried about him scamming you, it's all just for fun. Then he tells you about how a “high roller” who comes to the casino he works at is coming over to his house for a private game soon. And this is where the scam kicks in fully... Your friendly local casino dealer asks if you'd be up for playing in the game with the “high roller”... ...and he'll deal YOU all the winning cards. Now, anyone with half a conscience and any morals would realise this is totally wrong. And if you had half a brain cell that it's almost definitely going to end badly for yourself. But here's the thing... Apparently some people are greedy and stupid enough to agree. To begin with the dealer keeps his word and you're winning hand after hand until you build up a huge pot of cash. Then suddenly out the blue you're in a hand for all your money and instead of winning like you have for every other hand you lose. The dealer doesn't deal you the winning hand like you expected him to and BOOM you've just lost thousands of dollars. The penny drops and you realise YOU have just been scammed. You shout “give me my money back”. And the “dealer” and the “high roller” laugh at you. You've just lost all your money in a scam because you were greedy and stupid enough to try and scam someone else out their money. The REALLY dumb thing about this... So many of these greedy travellers have the audacity to complain about it or even go to the police. When the only reason they got scammed in their first place was their own greed, it's karma. And here's the point relating to marketing I'm making by telling this story... Don't let GREED make you gullible enough to get involved with internet scams or buy dodgy courses promising overnight riches. Chasing money at ANY cost without thinking it through only leads to disappointment and lost money. You'll see these marketers practically guaranteeing you'll make money in a ridiculously short period of time if you just buy their product. But overnight riches from online marketing, just like the Cambodian blackjack scam, is bullsh*t and doesn't exist. At best it's a gamble and at worst it's a scam. So stick with the tried and tested online business methods that work without the need to gamble.
