    I think your book came to me by mistake. It’s called How to Scam People, right? If so, it’s here. If you just send me a few bucks to cover postage, I’m happy to forward it along to where it’s supposed to be!

    One time I ordered a shirt and it didn’t show up for months. No response from the seller. I had accepted my loss and learned my lesson. But then a couple months later, bam, shirt.

    I subletted a place once. Person who wanted it worked for one of those Herbal medicine scams as a cold call agent. Guess who never paid on time and eventually I had to ask him to leave.

    It’s taking many many years for me to come to the point where I realized it was my fault. He told me what he was about and I didn’t listen.

      And they couldn’t go to the police because everyone knows you can’t resell a lottery ticket, correct?

    Does this happen to scammers when they try to buy phishing software packages from black hat hackers?

    If so, that’d be a delightful irony.
