California seems to be home base for such and also for scams toward old people. If you track some of the major scams in the news, they come from some of te more effluent areas iPod Northern California.
On a lighter note, my shock came when I went a whole month and didn't charge anything to my credit card. I was stuck in Algeria under "house arrest" until our contract was settled.
My bill came in and I thought to myself "I've got these guys now, they screwed up the bill and over charged me."
To my surprise, the charge was real. My wife had bought my daughter a new car! Lucky for me, back then the new car cost less than $30,000.
You have to love your a little more than you love your kids. But don't trust her any more than those scammers in California. 4951
