Of course, everything turned out to be a scam. (Duh!) But some of the scams
were just
pathetic enough to be funny. My faves? The pyramid scheme that helped
'"George"
reach his goal of making $7,000 a month within two years of getting out of
prison.' And the bogus
weight-loss plan that caused one sucker, er, customer, to gush, "This didn't
work, but it was full of
fiber and I was very regular!"" And at this very moment, some hot babes who
have been clamoring to
meet me electronically are finally at the door -- hallelujah!
