A man shared a story online about ‘investing’ in a fortune-teller who wants to know the earnings he will receive in the future.
One thing’s for sure, he invested in a “fortune sucker”
Here is story:
My friend who is very superstitious told me that he recently paid $5,000 to a fortune teller at Waterloo street to reveal his future.
I told him: “Sure accurate cause 10mins later, he predicted you will lose $5,000.”
My friend who was not happy with my comments said that the fortune teller is very accurate and said that he did not lose the $5,000 and he is just investing into the future.
So I questioned him by saying: “So what was accurate?”
He said: “He knew that I was single and told me to focus on my careers instead of spending time and money chasing girls and should invest more on myself.”
My response: “Of course la, with your ugly mug anyone also can say the same thing and tell you your having a hard time finding girls. Secondly, this kind is typical advice teacher give students sia, what invest yourself? You just lost $5,000 investing in nothing”
He kept quiet but later said that the Fortune Teller also told him that he will escape from big troubles this year as he went to the fortune teller to spend money in return get rid of the bad luck “破财消灾“.
My response: “Hello you brain got water ah? You think every day in a year is smooth one meh, sure got 1 or 2 days will cockup on what.”
Then I told him the cockup day is the day you trust a fortune teller and lost $5,000.
“I rather you lose money investing in stocks or forex rather than losing it to some street man, if the fortune teller so good, he no need stay under hot sun 12 hours a day to scam people”
He kept quiet and continues to be in denial.
Aiya, why so many naive people out there.
