What a noble cause, to encourage everyone to support the education for young girls in India. Unfortunately, the Scammers have yet again sullied this worthwhile cause for personal gains.
Allegedly, according to the rationale, the cut-out cardboard of the little girl holds a chain link in parking lots. On the link, there's some drivel about how you hold the education of the little cute cardboard girl (representing all young girls in India, one is meant to presume) in your hands, and your hands alone.
Now, these dirty, selfish, attention-seeking and fame-hungry ho's of creatives would want car drivers to stop, get out of their cars, remove the chain, get back in their cars, park their cars and then replace the chain for this piece of scambient to have its maximum impact.
All seems so darn convenient in the rationale, but I can't help wondering "What part of this process comes across as convenient? Would irate drivers not just
(a)drive over the manipulative piece of cardboard (complete with look-at-me-i'm-a-sad-little-girl-who-needs-education face), or
(b) the more likely route, to just NOT replace the chain once they've parked? In which case most of the idea is lost anyway..."
I know, I know, amazing piece of insight. It comes naturally.
Luckily for you green-horn scam hunters, there are some other tell-tale signs. Firstly, how on this Earth would a cardboard cut-out ever hold up to the weight of a metal chain, I would never know. More so, the shitty photoshopped image also doesn't cast a compelling enough shadow for this EVER to be real.. never.. ever.
