Well, the economy must be hard on the scam artists too. There seems to be more of them, and they are getting more creative, but not necessarily smarter.
I got the standard 'Hello' fishing line from one of them the other day. Now the problem is this guy couldn't even get his story straight in one paragraph. One rule of scamming is that if you say you have one child, a 10 year old daughter in your introduction, you should still have that in your summary. When your only child is then a 12 year old son, even we the slow and old tend to catch on.
Lola
- Ellen
- Southern California, United States
- Lola - no not my 'given' name. This is my "Starbucks" name. For some reason they are unable to manage my simple name, so my aka has become 'Lola'. It is very handy. Although, I may have a creative streak. All the stories are true, even I could not make this stuff up. Other than a few faithful friends, I actually never know when and/or if anyone is reading this stuff. Feel free to drop us a line once in awhile and let me know, that perhaps we are not alone! :}
