Same old, same old... (by Mike N.):
It's amazing how many people fall for various scams. All because they want to make a quick buck.
We had a guy here in RI, who would go around saying that he had a bunch of lobsters to deliver and his truck broke down. He would ask people for money to fix his truck so he could deliver his lobsters before they went bad. Then he woudl tell them to meet him at a designated place and he would pay them back and throw in a couple lobsters as well. Needless to say, people never got there $$ or their lobsters. Another guy was "selling" Dallas Cowboy season tickets. Too bad he wasn't for real because the price was great. Fortunately these petty scam artists usually get caught.
Follow the old adage "If it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't"
