    Either because you were a little too trusting, the details weren't clear enough, or you just ran into a con that was that good. Have you ever been scammed out of time or money?

    Last year, this guy had a sign up by the mall all holiday season "will work for food". After seeing him so many times, I gave him $5 and the phone number of my guy to call about a job since the guy's sign said he does construction. He was there again this holiday season, so I suspect he does that every year to pray on people in the holiday spirit. We don't have a lot of sign holders here, so the guy probably makes out pretty good in December.

    Okay this is embarrassing...
    A few years ago when I set up my Youtube account and uploaded a few videos, I was anxious to get alot of views for them so I google searched "how to increase video views" and came across this site that allegedly had this software that would increase your video count. It only cost $50.

    Boy did I feel like an idiot.

    Nah. Can't pull the wool over my eyes that easy. I damn sure won't ever be scammed out of money.

    Only by a so-called friend who was a master con artist. She finally paid most of what she owed me when I told her I'd contacted a lawyer who said that I had a good case. This was about four months after I stupidly lent her money.
