Now you've got my curiosity piqued. What was he selling? One of those Snuggie thingies? Because I want one of those.
Sorry, it was early in the morning and I was in considerable pain at the time and don't remember it all. He purported to be with an investment firm that developed a great system he would reveal to any and all comers for a $400 mentwhoring fee. The system was something I tested long ago that was utterly worthless at the time, and it failed to lodge in long term memory today, which is becoming increasingly clogged in my old brain and therefore a precious resource. Anyway, if it were worth a shit he would try to sell it for more. Bad marketing strategy. At $5K he would have had takers. But I have to give him credit, he was at least a native English speaker, could write cogently, and he made the best of a bad case. If he's reading this, for $400 I'll teach him how to do better and evade at least for a while the wrath of ET assholes like me.
