Is This A Legit Scheme?

It sounds too good to be true.  Can someone explain how it works using small words?   I'm looking for the catch.

Looks like a load of only pony to me.

[wolf63]

I think so too, especially as all the comments are glowingly positive.

I didn't even bother reading any of it.

If a website that's totally unconnected to the BBC (in this case horneddingo.pro) fakes a web page to look as if you're viewing the actual BBC website, then it's undoubtedly a scam!

(I did, however, check up on how long the horneddingo.pro URL has been in existence.  That domain name was only registered last Thursday).

Chris, there were red warning flags all over it.  But it could have been real.

Instead I invested a smaller amount in a wiser scheme.  https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/name-a-lynx

"  But it could have been real." - nope as Chris said, fake BBC livery on an unrelated site. Impossible BS story = 100% guranteed fake. It could not possibly have been real.

Hope you win the day with the lynx. The real thing smells a lot better than the body sprays 😀

... and is less deadly.

True

and in predator news, Wolf names lynx

[wolf63]

I thought that the Lynx sprays had become extinct.

I love the Wildlife park - they have Wolves.

 

 

[wolf63]

Jno, I thought of calling her Wolfie.

and the winner gets to feed the tiger. Now there's a red flag.

[wolf63]

jno, I wonder if they allow you to pick who you want fed to the Tiger.

Playtime, Wolfie!

They are no more vicious than a normal cat.  But when an annoyed moggie swats you with an armed paw, it rarely has the strength to decapitate a human.

^^^ Most cats are just big softies at heart - although the recently-deceased wood mouse that Chequers has just brought into my bedroom probably wouldn't agree!

[wolf63]

The problem is that they are unpredictable and some have a short kitty-timer.

Merlin would attack for no apparent reason.  She was quite scary at the Vet's once.  She lunged at the Vet and I had to try and get between them.  I was shredded and the vet had to clean and dress my arm.  My friend found it hilarious - she was Princes Merlin's favourite auntie.
