Last week I answered the phone, in 10 seconds I'd been scammed!!!

35. If someone's going to rip you off in this manner, why would they BOTHER to get a recording ...

... this seems like a LOT of trouble to go through just to deceptively "prove" to someone at a later date that you said "yes" to approve a charge. People like this are going to take the money and get the hell out of dodge quickly. They're not going to stick around and dispute claims by providing false evidence.

In my opinion, this one just looks like another one of those BEWARE stories that people love to tell ... I guess it makes people feel like they're more in control over scary things in their life, even the things that have 99.999% chance of NOT happening.

Remember the "BEWARE OF PEOPLE IN PARKING LOTS WITH PERFUME BOTTLES" scare? Supposedly, the perfume bottle was filled with chloroform and you'd be taken away and held for ransom, or maybe it was your organs would be harvested, or was that the one where you were forced to work on a fishing vessel?

I can't remember ... but I can look it up.

Oh, there it is... they were being ROBBED!! Supposedly. And it was ether, not chloroform. (My bad.)
