Every once in a while, a piece of Scam comes along that manages to convince a lot of people out there that it's legit, due to the seemingly sheer mass of the campaign and the associations with a credible brand by the Scammer.
Even Cherryflava and the folks at Creative Intelligence (a site which has remarkably little examples of Scamvertising) were duped by the Swedish student Scammer who claimed that he had created the largest drawing in the world with the use of GPS technology and couriers DHL.
Had they consulted us prior to posting, we would've pointed them in the right direction though. By simply glancing at the map/canvas on which the portrait was created, us expert Scam Hunters noticed the amazing and perfectly smooth lines and curves. This would have been impossible to create in real life using human transportation as there are rules and regulations guiding flight patterns of aircrafts.
There was also the question of points on the map in the middle of no-where... probably accessible only by a fishing trawler. I'm sure there can't be too many of those in DHL's fleet?
The question of fees for the project also arose in the Scam Hunters Bureau Head Quarters. Was this Swedish Scam-scum seriously rich was DHL really kind, and bored...?
There were already too many questions by this stage, leaving us no option but to stamp this piece of trash with a big "SCAM", in red.
