Generous people help with debts?

Hiya, i was told by a friend that some wealthy people will gift you money to avoid tax..? Is this true or am I being told a porky? If it is true where would you find such a generous donor? my paypal account would welcome them.
Sorry if this been posted before, just wondered if anyone heard of it for real.
Could really use some cash and hoping it is true lol

    Dont be daft..............................................
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • Jeez, was hoping to be a chosen one... oh well lol
    Never heard of it before either. Never met a generous person that would just give money!
    Keep job hunting, and stop listening to small talk for me then xx
  • Apply the following filter when told these stories by friends -

    'if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is'.....

    in other words, if it sounds absolutely amazingly good, it's probably a load of old cobblers!

    Seriously though - don't waste your time dreaming of gifts or winning the lottery and face up to your debts and try to deal with them realistically.
  • I have no job or money, facing up to debt right now, would probably push me over the hedge. All i have left are dreams.
    But you all are right, generous donor do not exist. I was being led up the garden path.
