With the advent of the Internet and social media, Fred eventually bought himself a computer. Everyone was talking about emails, so he got an email address himself. Everyone was googling, so he googled. He was fascinated by how he could find out just about anything about anything. He was an avid googler. One thing he found out through his googling was about cookies, which he thought he liked, but now he didn’t when he realised that they were electronic spies.
He always disabled cookies and denied any sites unnecessary cookie permissions.
And it didn’t stop him winning the Nigerian Lottery.

Teehee. I was thrown by the title because I know you call cookies biscuits over there. I forgot about the internet thing.

The Nigerian Lottery is well known over here. Surprise emails telling you that you’ve won £££ millions. Why I could have been a multi-millionaire several times over, rather than the relative pauper that I am🥴. All I needed to do was send the unknown emailer all the details of my bank account. Why didn’t I do like Fred.?

I didn't know about the Nigerian Lottery until this drabble and then I searched it and saw that scammers use it. Now if I get that email I'll know it's a scam!
