I accidentally gave money to a guy going door-to-door for the Unification Church (the Moonies). I thought he said *Unitarian* Church (which my mom belongs to), plus the phone was ringing and the cat was trying to get out the door… it was a perfect storm, really. When my husband got home he was horrified. Sigh.

Yeah, it was crazy. After the fact I was like, “WHAT WAS I THINKING?!” But the thing is, you never know when this kind of thing will happen. It might happen on the day you have to kill your cat, and you won’t be expecting it.

Yeah, it really was very well put-together in retrospect. I think that he and his partners (if he had any) must have been staking this neighborhood out and watching things for a while. Because there was a lot of information that seemed too good to be coincidental.

At least you are sharing it to help others, your stupid tax aside, there are lots of people who get taken in by good con artists & need to know how to learn from others experiences. Cons are slick because they know how to put just enough truth into their scams.

You rock for admitting this. Mr. Right-Click is so the bad cop to your good cop when it’s needed.
