Lucrative lampooningThe latest scam to hit the market was exposed on A Current Affair (Channel 9 ) on May 23, 1997. Promoted by the former well-known cartoonist Larry Pickering, the scam consists of selling suckers (or, to be politically correct, the credulity enhanced) a horse race betting system on a PC disc. Several people interviewed on the current affairs programme said they had never had a winner; that the system consistently lost, and that they had been caught for several thousands of dollars. When advertising the system on television last year, Pickering was depicted living the life of Riley – flash cars, expensive boats, up-market residence and boasting that he wouldn’t ever have to work again. Of course he was telling the truth, and will continue to make a fortune all the time there are people gullible enough to believe that someone is prepared to sell you a share in their gold mine instead of keeping the nuggets for themselves.
