Default Hello, I'm your friendly bookie
Can you believe? It was in this mornings paper.

Somebody calls you on the phone and says, "I'm a bookie and a member of your family owes me money." "you gotta pay it for them." So they instruct you to put cash in an envelope and leave it on the seat of your car. Then they come by and get it.

One person lost $6,000.

I am absolutely sure that some reporter made this up. Nobody, but nobody can be that stupid.

I don't even trust the people who call claiming to represent the state police, let alone a bookie.
