    We just had a local case of scammers working folks from the sucker section of over kind hearted business.

    Thing is, this is theft by deception and a cross bar ticket to a long time behind bars.

    Stay alert and put em away.

    Do you want to give some details on these scammers? What are they selling or soliciting funds for?

    In my case they have researched local charities that provide services to Vets. In this a service is provided for food, utilities or Motel stays. They secure a service or other item that can then be sold on the "HOBO" market. After all who knows who actually stayed in a Motel Room last night?
    The looser is the vet and the service provider.

    If it sounds like a great deal , step back and check for trip wires ,,,,cause it could just blow up in your face .
    I've lost out on deals before because I was to cautious , but at least I didn't lose in the longrun .
