Fool Me Twice
Some people just believe that humans are inherently good. In fact, this person’s belief is so strong that they fell for the same scam…twice! After listening to a kid’s sob story about how he was selling magazine subscriptions to pay for college, the OP’s heart melted and they placed an order.
They never saw the kid again nor did they get the magazines. A few years later, another kid came to their doorstep with the same story. They hesitated at first but the kid convinced him that he was honest and not like the other kid. So, the OP subscribed again and guess what? No magazines this time either. When will they learn?
