In her Power Puff Girl cape and scarlet tresses, Miss BB embodied, in more ways than one, the lost dreams and sexual frustrations of an entire generation of Pinoys who are still mesmerized by get-rich-quick/get-slim-quick schemes and the empty promises of celebrity.
MISS Double T is back, and not just on television on her daily ABS-CBN morning talk show "Teysi" but in the standup comedy scene where she first made a big splash over two decades ago.
The highlight of the show was when Tessie shared the stage with Jon in an engrossing and entertaining improv duet of sorts.

Almost as soon as email became widely used, it began to be used to defraud people via Email fraud.
The modern email version of this scam, known variously as the "Nigerian scam", "Nigerian All-Stars" etc., is an Advance fee fraud.

The twosome debuted in New York's Casino Theatre in 1898 in a short-lived show, "The Gold Bug." Their act consisted of songs, dance, and quick-paced patter that centered on Walker trying to convince the slower Williams to join him in get-rich-quick schemes.
In 1910 Florenz Ziegfeld hired Williams to be one of the stars of "The Ziegfeld Follies." He performed in the "Follies" almost continually, and his national popularity and fame grew.
W. Fields, star of the silent screen, called Bert Williams "the funniest man I ever saw and the saddest." As a central figure on America's vaudeville circuit, Williams sang, danced, and pantomimed in clubs, cabarets, and theaters across the country.

 Chain letter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Common methods used by chain letters include emotionally manipulative stories, get-rich-quick pyramid schemes, and the exploitation of superstition to threaten the recipient with bad luck or even physical violence if he or she "breaks the chain" and refuses to adhere by the conditions set out by the letter.
With the development of e-mail and the Internet, chain letters have become much more common and quick to spread than when they were transmitted purely by physical mail, although RFC 1855 explicitly discouraged them as a breach of netiquette.
A chain letter can be considered a type of meme, a self-replicating piece of information that uses a human host to distribute copies of itself.

The perpetrators of Advance Fee Fraud (AFF), known internationally as "4-1-9" fraud after the section of the Nigerian penal code which addresses fraud schemes, are often very creative and innovative.
