Even the best and brightest get caught today with sophisticated scams that can look believable. There are some who prey on others, and for them life is a zero sum game: their enrichment is at your expense. From your wallet to their wallet, a direct flight, no stop-overs. We believe Hell is busy constructing a tenth circle for the like of these con artists who think they can dupe others out of their money. Like the predators they are, they prey on the elderly and the weak. I could go on about these types believe they can harm others with no harm done to them (which is false). I will leave attempts for their salvation, their saving, for my betters. I will settle for avoidance by being forewarned. Check here for scams that prey on senior citizens. Please check back here often and stay on guard against those who would take advantage of you. | |
