Con artists target our seniors...

Con artists target our seniors in many get-rich quick and other schemes. Myrtle kept coming into our office asking if there was a parcel for her. After several days with no parcel, the secretary became suspicious. Myrtle had lived in the building for over 10 years and the secretary could never remember her receiving a parcel. Her husband had died years previously, and they had been childless. Nephews and nieces were distant at best.
It turned out that Myrtle had been promised a 54-inch color television and a certificate for a three week all expenses paid trip to Hawaii. All she had to do was send a check for $500 as a sign of "acceptance." Needless to say, the television and certificate never came, and the money was never seen again.
Seems Paul had a deal with cons of the spiritual variety.
