Humor - The funniest scam ever: The Time Travel Fund[tm]

Stumbled across this scam while researching time travel. When I read it I nearly fell off my chair laughing.

How does it work?

The concept is that one day, it may be possible for people living far in the future to retrieve you from your current frame of reference (their past - your present) and bring you into the future (their present - your future.)

Now let’s think about this… If it worked, wouldn’t there testimonials on the website? “Hi. No sooner had I paid my $10 than a guy from the future knocks on my door and invites me to the year 2500. This thing really works man. I just come back to tell my family and friends. Gotta go now - the future is so much better than now.”

The Time Travel Fund[tm]

Although time travel may be possible, this scam by its very nature proves itself fraudulent - but geez I got a good laugh.
