I remember reading what God hates the most, and sneakiness by stealth are some of them, if they could only see what awaits the unrepentant offender they might not do it. What a fascinating job you had, and a very vexing one at the same time. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

I guess we get to put up with opposition in order to make us appreciate a Millennial system eventually. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

This is a very good rat that you have written about. I agree with you that there are scammers out there who take advantage of so many different people for different reasons. I believe the scammers that I hate the worst are those who prey on the senior citizens. Many of those senior citizens have lost many dollars to the uncouth wiles of the scammers. Patricia.

Yes, I agree. That would easily double the length of the piece I wrote, so maybe I will save that for another writing prompt. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Your first paragraph is descriptive and chilling Crystie and it drew me in to read more. Then I read your second paragraph which I found totally shocking, how some people behave just to make a fast buck is unbelievable.
We have telephone scammers in the UK who have actually persuaded people to transfer all their savings into another account by being told that their bank account has been compromised. I have heard these calls and they are so believable and sound like they are really helping the customer with their kindness. Of course people have lost all their money!
I was scammed once by an email that seemed like it was the BBC TV Licensing Authority, it said that I had not paid my TV licence. Without checking I gave them all the information they needed to take money from my account. This happened on a Saturday and Monday morning I received the same email again which made me suspicious and I was able to stop any transactions leaving my account and I cancelled my card. The result since is that I have been targeted by numerous emails all trying to do the same thing because they think I am an easy target!
I learned a valuable lesson and I never talk to anyone on the phone who is cold calling.
Your write is so interesting and essential for others to read in the hope it will make people aware that some will do anything to steal money from your purse.
A fine post Crystie, I wish I had a six left for you, love Dolly x
