9) We are recovering from #8!
I don’t see social security anywhere on that list.
The seven listed are peanuts compared to:
1. Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac scam which led to 2.
2. Panic-driven $900 billion bailout
3. Oil-for-food
4. United Nations
5. Social Security
6. Last but not least.......the Democrat Party
“Carbon footprint” and global warming biggest hoax ever.
And do not forget: scammers don't leave you with [merely] a bad memory for the rest of your life: they have STOLEN the rest of your life.
Hang 'em or if you can't do that, REGISTER them!
A story in today’s paper describes an alert courier who saved an elderly woman from being scammed. Good for him.
You forgot one of the biggest scams of all....grass seed.
It’s a hoax perpetrated on American middle class male suburbanites.

Here’s a scam I was warned about recently...
To: Distribution List
Subject: Be Aware!
Older men scam —
Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall and in dark parking lots, etc.
This is the first warning I have seen for men.
I wanted to pass it on in case you haven’t heard about it.
A ‘heads up’ for those men who may be regular customers at Lowe’s, Home Depot, Costco, or even WalMart. This one caught me totally by surprise.
Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don’t be naive enough to think it couldn’t happen to you or your friends.
Here’s how the scam works: Two nice-looking, college-aged girls will come over to your car or truck as you are packing your purchases into your vehicle. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T- shirts.
(It’s impossible not to look).
When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say ‘No’ but instead ask for a ride to McDonald’s.
You agree and they climb into the vehicle. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet.
I had my wallet stolen Mar. 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also April 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th & 27th, and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage of us older men. Warn your friends to be vigilant.
WalMart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found even cheaper ones for $.99 at the dollar store and bought them out in three of their stores.
Also, you never get to eat at McDonald’s. I’ve already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth from Lowe’s, to Home Depot, to Costco, etc.
So please, send his on to all the older men that you know and warn them to be on the lookout for this scam. (The best times are just before lunch and around 4:30 in the afternoon.)
Let’s be safe out there...
Thanks for posting this article. It was a very good read, and informative too.
