You guys failed to mention the biggest scam artist around.
Banks, politicians, and lawyers. |

10 years ago when I moved to SF I learned a lesson about beggars. I said no when I was asked for money from a guy in a wheelchair. He asked me to push him up a hill 1 block. I did, hearing allthe way about his sob story. At the top of the hill I said, "Later." His hand was still out.
2 hours later I saw him pushing a lady in his wheelchair 2 blocks away from the initial incident. I am glad I learned early. I have since been asked thousands of times and have always said NO. When I lived downtown I would sometimes hang my doggie bag (after going out to dinner, then to bars and deciding I didn't want to carry a 1/2 dinner around) on trees for the bums. I thought of them as leftover trees. Like Orange, Apple, Pear Trees etc. |

My wife received information yesterday telling her she had some unclaimed property. We went to what appears to be an official state website and sure enough her name is there at an address we had about 15 years ago.
Anyone ever dealt with this? Is it a scam as we assume? |

I avoided a scam the other day.
Took the grandkids to see the Wiggles and after parking in an outdoor parking lot, headed to the metal box to put insert the money for my spot and see this guy with a handful of bills standing by the box. Several people ahead of me were handing them their money for parking. I just walked by him and he acted like he was going to step in front of me until I made it clear that I was going ahead to the box. He stepped aside. After I inserted my money and walked off, I asked my wife if she just saw what was going on. Nope, she would have handed her money to this guy just like the others. Just another scammer... |
