It was my book, Six Hours Past Thursday, writing about the exploits of a "legal" con man (the very worst kind) that pointed me into blogging about my past experiences as a business book writer.<BR/><BR/>Hope you'll be back.

It seems like you know so much about this. With regard to the books that I like, I love to read books that inspire and encourage people. You see I was once in a deep depression.

If it has to do with anything financial, best thing to do is look up an old statement, get the service phone number, and initiate your own phone call, to double-check it. So few people bother to do this most logical of logical things.Jack Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838385417692720281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4267286454117551349.post-54825176842927840312008-11-22T10:30:00.000-08:002008-11-22T10:30:00.000-08:00That sure is overly cautious, Swu.

They were saying there was some problem with my account and it could be quickly sorted out. All I had to do was give my specifics like pin number, account number, etc. And they would "handle" sort it all out and notify me. AND the clincher was: "Please deal with this matter immediately so that your account is not frozen." <BR/><BR/>I called me bank and they said it was a scam and that they do not ask for that info in emails. <BR/><BR/>Well, needless to say the scammers were going to "handle" it all right!! right into their pocket. LOL :) <BR/><BR/>So your posts are not only witty, funny and wise, they are very very helpful and practical. For that I am grateful. As I might not have seen that if I'd didn't read your posts. That is scary. <BR/><BR/>Thank you so much Jack for informing so many people. Also for all the times you have guided me and given wise spot-on advice. <BR/><BR/>You really are the best! <BR/>I mean that.<BR/>Hugs to you, <BR/>RobinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4267286454117551349.post-60062808107694711312008-11-21T09:28:00.000-08:002008-11-21T09:28:00.000-08:00Con Man:Great advice.
