I just saw one of my favorite movies of all time “Glengarry Glen Ross” adapted from a play by David Mamet. I love watching shows like this with hard nosed street salesmen that will do anything to close the deal. Lie, steal, etc. it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that they are closing that deal. Gotta’ know your ABCs. Always Be Closing. There are other movies on par with “Glengarry Glen Ross” such as “The Boiler Room” with that little cutie Giovanni Rabisi and that hot stud muffin Vin Diesel! I saw a newer movie last night called “The Prime Gig” with Vince Vaughn (hot) and Ed Harris. Boy, I was depressed all night after seeing that one! I won’t give away the ending for anyone that wants to rent it. It’s worth it. But I love the fact that all of these people are basically con artists and scammers who prey on peoples emotions and greed to sucker them into buying some crap they don’t need. Now that, my friends is skill!

I think it is amazing for someone to call you out of the blue, talk to your for a few minutes and get you to give them a lot of MONEY! No, I’m not talking about these penny ante telemarketers that are like gnats for me to zap with my TeleZapper. No, the true con artists that can get into your head and touch you on some emotional level OVER THE PHONE. I’m always amazed when I watch shows like “Dateline” and “60 Minutes” and hear horror stories about little old ladies that gave their whole retirement to some STRANGER to invest for her only to find out that he was lying to her the entire time and there was no investment property called Buena Vista in the New Mexico Desert. Who would have thunk?! Loneliness mixed with greed must truly be a powerful ally for these con artists. God willing, I won’t be taken in by these bottom feeders. Not that they will get anything from me at this stage in the game. Gentlemen, the well is dry!
