The Bottom Line

Clairvoyant: n A person, commonly a woman, who has the power of seeing that which is invisible to her patron -- namely, that he is a blockhead."

Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary

Dear Mr. or Mrs. Sucker,

The incredible and extensive powers of this "Ancestral Magic Coin" are going to lighten your wallet by about $29.00... and that's just a start.

 

A letter full of the most disgraceful mumbo-jumbo about a (plastic) magic coin, a secret cave of mysteries, the conjunctions of the stars, and a mystical magical mystery master - Mathias himself - who will enter the "Sanctuary of Millionaires", wave his arms around over a photo of you, or a lock of your hair, and instantly bring you the secrets of good fortune, lottery wins, luck in love, and whatever else you're stupid enough to believe in.  If you respond, this crook will have not only your money, but your name, your credit card number, and your date of birth. That should be enough to allow him to take advantage of you in any number of ways.

You have not fallen prey to an "occult manipulation".

You have not had "the evil eye" put upon you.

There is no "high ancestral magic".

"Mathias" is nothing but a fraud, a charlatan, a con-man, a criminal, and a liar. He is taking advantage of gullible and desperate people.

Save your money and throw solicitations like this directly into the recycle bin, where they can at least become insulation.
