Thankfully I have no money to invest, and I worked behind bars for 25 years with all kinds of con artists. I learned to trust nothing and no one. I also have a filter on my cell phone, and it’s set so that the phone only rings when it’s someone in my contact list. It rings no other time, and calls that are unrecognized by the filter can leave a voice mail if they want, or if the filter identifies them as spam, they’re automatically deleted, and don’t even show up. I’ve gotten fishing texts, but block them immediately as they are so obviously fraudulent. I don’t have a home phone, and only use my iPhone for calls and texts from CVS Caremark, and doctor appointment reminders. I’ve never used it for banking, or email. Never even used the camera. I hate the damn thing. I live in an apartment building, and if someone knocks on my door, like a utility provider, of Jehovah’s Witness, I open the door with the chain on, and say “not interested,” then slam the door in their face. They probably think I’m a bitch, but that’s okay, because I am. I got no time for assholes.
So...you were in prison?
Why not just say it plainly?
