Anything for money, lock em up!

I will NEVER pay up front ever again. For anything.

You can't in this day and age. With the amount of scams going on out there it's sickening. My parents got scammed by a company claiming they could fix their broken dryer. Well a guy came and looked at it. Charged them $300 just for him to look at it. Then he said it would cost another $500 to fix it. At that point my Dad knew he was scammed.
