Are you talking about scammers in dating? I have always wondered if this happens to a particular gender more than the other. I feel really unattractive because it has not happened to me yet. I have money and I waste money on other things but scammers in Nigeria and other places think I may be just one of them.... LOL... Works for me!

If you are talking about other asking like religious donations, I have had many of those skirmishes and looking forward to more. As for scamming in online fraud, I have had many like making purchases on stolen credit cards.For this the rule is this will continue as long as suckers are born every minute.

The worst part of that is telemarketers! We still have a land line which gets between 10 and 20 robo calls a day. I eventually put a call blocker on that phone which seemed a little weird but that thing is GREAT. It's a little effort to set it up so all your family and friends calls go through without interruption but well worth it.

my po box has a ver large paper recycling container. I toss the stuff in there.

Ironically, the poor are (generally) more generous in giving than those who have lots of money.
