Jun 2012

In the 3 page pitch letter included an "anything can happen" pitch re: the death benefit. "opportunity" and he mentioned that his 29 year old son had just has a stroke PROVING again that anything can happen and blah blah.

Then yesterday "the fax machine was broken" so there was a problem getting the forms. Do people still use fax machines? He has already sent me scanned documents.

I sent a NEW email saying URGENT REQUEST FOR CHECK STATUS. We don't really have an urgent need for the check, what I have is an urgent check to put 3000 miles between my money and this scammer! I requested the check be issued and mailed today, Wed, June 20.

My SIL sent a tersely worded response saying it would go out today and hope all was well. LOL.

I said great well if it DOESN'T go out today let me know.

Then at the end of the biz day I get a letter from Scammy McScamface saying that he has been attending the son with the stroke and the check will go out tomorrow via FedEx Overnight.

IT BETTER!! I am counting to 100 trying to talk myself out of emailing him "hey you should have cut the damn check when I asked for it, you had time to compose a 3 page pitch letter after your son had a stroke, trying to sell your POS scam!!

OH MY GOD THIS GUY IS ON MY LAST NERVE.
