You’d have to be pretty silly to fall for that…though obviously enough people do.

Mind you it reminds me of the football funnies that have been on Facebook recently.  Offering the winner a choice of a free season ticket to Everton* or a free sausage roll. 

Accompanied by a picture of the winner enjoying their sausage roll.

* Insert rival team to the one you support as necessary.
