The scams are getting more and more sophisticated, it's getting harder to discern the true from the not-true. I recently received a scam call that scared me and I almost responded to it except that I was busy doing something else at the time. Found out later that it was a scam.

I bet you're anxious to get the other tests out of the way. I was hospitalized for the first time with anemia when I was ten months old, and it's plagued me ever since, but not to the degree yours hit you. However, it once almost cancelled a needed surgery.<br /><br />Thank you on behalf of the human community for helping your friend or neighbor. People who don't think they'll fall prey to scams do. My father-in-law got one of those letters importuning him to contribute a "small" amount as he had won millions on the lottery, but he was a trusting person. I don't remember the reason they gave for contributing the money. He lived hand to mouth, and it was all his two sons could do to stop him from giving over what amounted to a month's worth of grocery money for him. And, if he'd gone through with it, it would have been more. My mother-in-law, a skeptical person, was contributing big amounts to PTL until the fraud fell apart when Baker was arrested. And just a few days ago, I walked into the kitchen and heard my husband say, "I guess. $50, you're suggesting?" The man is a retired attorney, known for his toughness when dealing with depositions, etc. I asked him whom he was talking to, and it was the ubiquitous "police benefit." I stopped him right there and told him that if he wanted to contribute to an organization to benefit police to go, to Charity Navigator or a similar research site and research them. Now he'll be prey to even more calls.
