True story . . .
Years ago I had an engagement with a very popular, petite lady up north. I had overstayed my welcome! I asked her what I owed, she gave me a number, I said OK. I got home, the next day I thought of the one hour drive to get to her place, hand her an envelope and the one hour drive back! I said “fuck that”!
I opted instead to send her a check, which I did! A day or three later, don’t remember if she called me or me her, but she freaked out a bit and laughed! Yes, I knew her real name and she knew mine (after 10 + visits). That was the first
AND ONLY time I have ever paid for a service by check or anything other than cash!
Well, years later I get a VERY strange email from CGS asking me why I had mailed her a check for the same amount as mentioned among other long list of absurdities. . . WHAT DA FUCK? You talk about a crock of shit dropping out of the sky!!
I am 110% certain many gullible ladies and gents have gotten a variation of that email and and sucked it all in as honest and trustworthy!
Lesson learned? References have and will sometimes distort or even fabricate what facts there are!!
