Scams

Someone is scamming using my name. They somehow got my maternal grandmother's phone# asking for $4500 for a car accident in Canada. The people trying to scam my very giving grandmother deserve many arrows in their guts and then dogs dropped to run them down (this scam hurts my feelings a bit). I'm having financial difficulties, but I am not placing calls like this. Remember kids, always be certain to verify conclusively before sending anyone money (especially cash, which is untraceable).

I suspect that with the economy still in free-fall we will likely see an increase in this type of behavior. I understand financial desperation, but preying on the elderly is reprehensible.
