You know those internet offers that seem too good to be true?\u00a0 So much so that you simply ignore them?<\/p>\n

CLICK HERE TO GET A 52 INCH SAMSUNG LED LCD HDTV TELEVISION FOR $99!!\u00a0 You know what I mean.<\/p>\n

I ignore them too.<\/p>\n

Or I did until yesterday when I logged onto Facebook.\u00a0 Yes, September 23 was not only the date of longest Facebook DNS debacle, it was also that day that I decided to try my hand at one of these fishy, yet tempting, offers.<\/p>\n

Maybe it was the fact that the offer appeared on my Facebook page.\u00a0 But mostly it was because one of the goodies being dangled in front of me was a $1, 000 Gift Card to Best Buy.\u00a0 That got my attention.<\/p>\n

Here's the screen. Would YOU have been tempted?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If I managed to win money on a game show, or have a really good night at the blackjack tables, or successfully engage in a bit of blackmail, the first place I would run to with my questionably-gotten gains would be Best Buy.\u00a0 All the toys I currently want can be purchased at Best Buy.\u00a0 Between the 52 inch Samsung television, the PS3, and the Nikon camera and lens that can all be purchased there, I could quickly demolish the largest part of $5, 000 in about an hour at Best Buy.<\/p>\n

So I decided to break my own rule and give this damn fake offer a try.\u00a0 See how far I could get with it.<\/p>\n
