scamming and stealing


this is going to be an un-exciting post but after everything that's happened in the last few weeks i thought i would share. let's do a timeline.

two weeks ago: dave and i put some things in the car and then went to a movie. when we got out someone had stolen his GPS that was hidden in the glove box. they didnt steal anything else so they must have been watching us put it away.

last thursday: got scammed into agreeing to an interview with a company in boston. thought they were very prestiguous (the website looked great) but realized they were a door to door sales company. nothing wrong with that, but they claimed to be a business to business agency. thankfully i read this blog post before i actually went.

sunday: my friend matt, rachel, and ashley, along with 6,000 other people got scammed into the Boston 411 Spring Home and Bridal Show they have been preparing many months for. thousand's of dollars have been lost. read more about it here.

monday: my purse, camera, special jewelry, wallet, and glasses were stolen from my car while i was in the gym. the theft smashed the window and took everything in my purse and a DVD. i was parked under a light in a "secured" parking lot.

moral of the stories....

- hide your valuables in the trunk -
- research online as much as you can -

i am not going to be doom and gloom but be careful out there. people aren't as nice as we would like to think.
