As you may know, if you are a regular reader here, from time to time I come across things on the interwebs that I find, um, rather amusing.
And I share with you.
On Facebook, today, I saw an ad for . . . wait for it . . . .
A Lock Pick Education Set.
Voila!
Seriously?
It will help you understand how a lock works! (Don’t you just snap it shut so other people can’t get into it?) You can play it like a puzzle! (There are hours of fun to be had . . . sitting in prison!) Perfect gift for someone you love (or someone you’d love to see in jail!)
So I’m thinking, well, I’m thinking a lot of different thoughts at this point, but first and foremost is, is this real? Are they really selling lockpick kits to the general public? So I click on the comments . . . only the names have been changed to protect the innocent, but you get the idea . . .
I like the replies from the company, Orange Gadget.
We didn’t offer that kits. Maybe in future will make it available. There is much more product that will grab your interest too!
And they might try to grab your credit card number and other information as well. I’m thinking this isn’t a reputable company, and I’m a little scared to try their link.
I am leery because I have already been bamboozled this season. I saw an ad (on Facebook) for an electric snow shovel:
This is what I ordered and paid for
But the company, Momo-Lucky delivered this:
In case you are confused, that is an ICE SCRAPER. I am Momo-UN-Lucky. The package may say SNOW SHOVEL (and God only knows what in Chinese–maybe SUCKER) but that is not what I ordered.
The “Value” on the package says $5. But my credit card was still billed $79.90 for this “snow shovel!” The matter is currently under dispute and my credit card company has reimbursed me the original deduction.
But if you are brave and embark on this new career, I’ll call you if I ever need an expert locksmith!
Of course, you may pay $80 to become an expert locksmith, and this may be what they send you:
