I was once. For only $500 or so, if I recall. A Ponzi Scheme. Our company did work for him, and we watched him turn straw into gold for six months or so as he built his little scheme. We finally decided we needed to get in the action and gave him $500, for which he promised us $750 in thirty days. Well, we'd waited too long . . . we were caught in the end game. Lost our money and could have KICKED ourselves because, basically? We knew better.
You?

Sorry to hear that Maggie. Nope, I can't say that I've been scammed before. I've never been robbed either thankfully, but I have been ripped off.
Did you give the money before you got the weed?
:lol: Damn drug dealers! J/K. I've been short-changed before at the store is what I meant.
The one time when I was about 15 years old this drug dealer fronted me an ounce of dirt weed. I couldn't sell any of it to anyone because everyone knew it was bunk.Did you give the money before you got the weed?
I left my robe open so you could.
Those are grapes. Sorry, love.
I hope they don't get squished as easily. Painful.
Want some Chardonnay straight from the spig?
Gee. Is there any left?
Back in the 80's, I listened to a guy try and recruit me as an Amway distributor. I couldn't get away from that idea fast enough.
I sat through a one hour Amway pitch from one of the millionaires in it. I knew what I was in for. I just wanted to see his historic house, drink some good coffee and tell him no. So I went and it was a beautiful place and the coffee was delicious. And I wish I had a camera to take his picture when I told him no.
