They'd start their pitch and mom would say that she was very interested, but she left something on the stove, could they please hold on for a moment? Then she'd put the phone down and go on about her business. Some of them would stay on a long time thinking they had a live one.South Florida real estate bloghttp://www.realestatefeast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-21319324080288362482009-10-10T08:02:03.810-04:002009-10-10T08:02:03.810-04:00Aiding n abetting?

Occasionally, you see reports of people being convicted for these scams but not often enough. If we can't interest law enforcement in a real crime being committed, do we have to become vigilantes to bring them to justice as you tried to do? I just don't know, but the concept of asking them what they are wearing made me laugh out Judi Kreggnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-79069226073059846522009-10-09T10:13:55.732-04:002009-10-09T10:13:55.732-04:00Yeah.
