Sometimes they say they're with a church, other times they're a representative from a support group.
They say they know how you feel. They lost someone to cancer, just like you're losing someone to it.
Things move fast, you're in too deep, and the next thing you know, you're sitting in a diner, staring at the photographs. Or a movie clip on an iPod.
Pay up, or everyone sees them.
It's a cruel setup, a vicious honeypot scam.
"If she sees these," you say, "it'll kill her."
They don't care. They just want the money.
And insurance doesn't cover it.
In case you have nothing better to do or listen to, I'll be storming the Clear Channel Studios again to pester Michael Garfield (High Tech Texan) from 11:00-1300. Use the Listen Live link on http://kprcradio.com if you're not within broadcast range of some cowtown called "Hyooston Tejas."
