    It's simple. What I normally do when presented with offers or opportunity, is ask myself " Did I initiate this?" When I answer this question with a no. I walk away or hang up with extreme prejudice. Be wary of individuals using a Kramer frutes type of pitch.

    Yeah the big ostentatious bigmouths are obvious scammers. What amazes me is how they can reel in so many suckers.

    It's a matter of " sifting the chaff from the wheat ".
    One might miss a " chance in a lifetime " opportunity being too judgemental.

  8. Come to NY, they will eat you alive.. Anyway, your focus shouldn't be on a con man, but on the bigger picture... And the bigger picture is, the Whole world (system ) is a scam.. Taxes, the president, wars, debt, a lot churches, etc... Even these big time charities... Most people focus on individuals too much.. Be aware of the bigger problem..
