Editor’s note: The following letter is in response to last week’s crime news item “Woman Scammed Out Of $1,000 Cash.”
She was scammed because she was greedy. She should have ignored them. I had something similar happen to me at the Gardens Mall years ago.
While resting on a bench, a well-dressed man sat down beside me. After a few minutes he looked into one of that planters and miraculously found a paper bag. He looked in and said, “Wow! I don’t believe this; there’s lots of money in here! Is this yours?”
I said, “Yes, it is!”
I can’t tell you how quickly he ran. Never got to meet the third party, his partner. It’s called the “pigeon drop,” and they rely on the greed of the victim.
