He Is Fake



Baby E post day: my youngest, 'Baby E,'  felt an urgent need to post today, with a message for you. Happily, I relinquish this space to him.
*new to Baby E? Click here first*
--------------------------------------

Hi. It's me, Baby E. Today I have to tell you something: This man is fake.

I told my mom I have to say something about this. Because maybe people might believe him and he is fake.

He is on a commercial during a kids' show!! He tries to sell stuff to kids I don't get.  He's fake. He says "My name is this and I am super rich because I did this and you should do it!"

He is a multiton bajillionaire who will not tell you the secret of how to get a billion dollars unless you send him money first. And that is the secret! Ask people to send you money, and then you keep it and then probably you just send them a note back that says, "the secret to be rich is to ask people to send you money."

And it works kinda. Because you kinda do want to send him money to be rich. But I know he is fake because his videos are cheesy.

He's not Santa and those videos are dumb.

On one, the one my brother laughs the most about, he is on a really fast boat that is flying through the water and with money that he is throwing up in the air. That is how you know it is a lie because even if you have all the money in the world you will still not throw it up in the air especially going over water fast. That is how you know he is dumb.

He's like Barney for old people--he is pretending.

I want to tell people that he is an actor acting and my mom said I could that today. To tell you to not send him money.

Even though he doesn't have a costume on, he is still fake.

You should not do what the commercials say. even if you want to. "Hey, moms and dads--I'll give you a thousand dollars"-- and he'll say this for like five hours, he says, "I can make you rich!"

He does not have super special powers to open up banks.

Mostly he is annoying, but he is lying, too.

He comes on a lot, during some kids' shows I watch.

I want everyone to know to not listen to him, even if you want to, to have all that money.

He is a fake.

Bye, that is the thing I wanted to say to you the most today: to ignore him even if you want to call him, to get the money.

Bye. Next time I want to talk about Halloween and my soccer tournament this weekend and my gramma and grampa are here.

Bye.

Remember to ignore him.

From, Baby E.

  1. So young to be so smart. Let's hope you don't forget all that, when you get older. There's lots of fakes out there.

  3. Great post E! I am going to have my son, who likes to give me these 800 numbers, read this. I know he will totally agree with the Santa statement :)

  4. He is a smart kid. These commercials even fool some adults so nice job catching that it's a fake.

  5. Baby E - Have any of your friends sent money to this guy? If so, you guys should start a video campaign, demanding their money back. In fact, you should do that anyway. With your wit it would be hi-larious!

  8. whassup e! i feel like it has been forever since i read a post by you. good eye on this guy. there is no trick to getting rich. it takes a lot of hard work...or government taxes breaks and...well think i will save that rant until you are a bit older.

    i would also question his definition of rich. I know people that have lotsof money but are not happy. there is more than money.

    just got home from the beach which was really cool. we saw dolphins swimming in the ocean.we went to a light house. it was on an army base so they had to search our car with military dogs to let us in. pretty cool.

    hope you have a wonderful day!

  9. "because even if you have all the money in the world you will still not throw it up in the air especially over water."

    Quick! Get this kid an agent! And a reality show! Hilarious.

  10. Hey, thanks, everybody:

    Yes, he really wanted to post, he was so angry at this guy trying to trick people into sending him money.

    I love how he already realizes the power of social media.

    This makes him very proud. After he posted, he said, I hope this stops people from sending him money.

    Next on his agenda: CashForGold

  11. Thanks for the advice!
    I'll tell my 11 year old to be on the look-out for him.

  12. "He's like Barney for old people--he is pretending."

    Hahahaha! That is an awesome analogy! Luckily we don't have this crazy fake guy on our Irish TV's. With money problems all over the world, there are too many desperate people who will fall for dumb things like this! Thanks for doing your part to make a difference! :)

  13. You have learned a great lesson that will help you all through your life if you can already tell the liars from honest people. Good for you.

    I love that your son has great instincts and moral outrage.

  18. Wow Baby E, you are supere great to pass all of that information on to us, AND you didn't even make us pay! Can't wait to hear what you are palnning for Halloween! Have a super week.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Tell him I said I will always remember not to send that guy money. Tell him I said thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Thank you, thank you: I can't wait to let Baby E see how many of you will not send money to this faker man because of baby e's warning.

    He will be thrilled to know his post stopped you..

  21. Baby E - Barney for old people made this old person laugh out loud. Good eye you!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I can't believe that this commercial comes on during kids' shows!! Horrendous. I'm so impressed you're so smart and socially conscious, Baby E! Well done!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. This was awesome, Baby E! You are young but so wise. People believe men like that and I'm glad you are out to set them straight. Keep it up!

    ReplyDelete
  24. You would be amazed the things people fall for Baby E.

    ReplyDelete
  25. That is awesome! He is so smart. So much smarter than so many adults.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Baby E -

    You are super smart.
    And you could totally be that guy for Halloween.

    Then you'd be warning people that he's fake AND getting candy at the same time.

    That's a win/win situation right there.

    But instead, I suppose you should just be something fun. Because you already warned us.

    So your job here is done.

    But I'd still give you Halloween candy if you lived near me.

    p.s. Hope your soccer tournament was fabulous...

  27. "He's not Santa and those videos are dumb." Classic Baby E. May I please have this on a T-shirt?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh, Baby E, you are so wise! And what a great message, one that all adults needed to be reminded of from time to time!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Baby E just read your comments.

    He is very happy that you did not call to find out lies from this man.

    He felt this post was urgent.

    Thank you all, for listening.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Baby E is very wise. He should host his own show called Nice Try Scammer or You so Fake. I'd watch.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Wow. Thank you so much Baby E. When i see him I'll yell to the t.v screen "Psha...you're fake!"
    Have fun and good luck at the soccer tournament!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Thanks for the heads-up, E. I had not heard anything about his man. But I will be on the lookout for sure. Barney for old people. Great, great comparison, my friend.

    ReplyDelete
  33. You are so smart and caring! Sorry I've been gone for so long. Last time I checked you were funny and cute. Now you are smart and responsible. Thanks for the tip!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. You may be raising a genius. Also, he definitely needs his own show.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Thank you for such great information! I believe you are absolutely right!

    ReplyDelete
  36. that guy looks like a major creep.
    barney for adults:)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Wonderful assessment.

    I love the Barney for Adults line.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Baby E, I had to tweet this, because how brilliant are you?? LOVE.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh Baby E, you are a smart cookie. he sure is Fake and willing to take all of our hard earned money. I am glad you brought him to our attention. I never send anyone any money, I don't have any ...but that's not the point. :)

    Love ya Baby E!

    ReplyDelete
  40. "He's like Barney for old people" - this? Is my new Favorite line. Ever.
    And I always knew something was up with that Barney. His smile's just a tad too wide for my liking...

    ReplyDelete
  41. Ha, just caught up on all your posts today and while I could comment on all, I will just comment on your Jesus picture from Tiki blog....

    I grew up with almost the same thing, except mine was the Madonna....maybe the difference between Italian and Hispanic?

    Ha!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Thanks for the warning, E, but I'm still really interested in becoming a multiton bagilionaire.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hey, Baby E. Thank you so much. I was just licking the envelope full of cash to send to that dude when I read your excellent post. WHEW! Ripped my check up so fast. I really want to be rich, but I guess when things seem too good to be true, they usually are, right? Again, thank you for your warning. Between you and your mom on Scary Mommy, you guys are a very good team of financial planners. Suze Orman doesn't have a son or her show; I sense an opportunity. (Ask mom who she is.)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Uh. Baby E? I'm sorry that comment was confusing. See, I put cash AND a check into the envelope.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Alexandra, how did you raise Baby E to be that smart?

    Baby E, you are one wise young man! You are right. That man is a fake!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hi everybody this is baby e.

    Just saying that of the show I would do an episode of good guys and Billy Mays would be numbah one.

    He can sell just About anything.

    He is incredibly awesome.

    Bye.

    See you on my next post.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Awww...

    Baby E just posted via my husband's iPad 2, on loan from work.

    Baby E , I just love you.

    xo

    Mom.

  48. Man, nobody ever tries to con me out of money. Is that a sign I'm poor?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Such sage advice, Baby E. Thanks for the warning--I'll be sure to be on the lookout for this fraud.
