I’ve been so busy working on client projects, I didn’t realize my own web presence was looking as scattered as ever! So, I took some time to coordinate my blog, Facebook & Twitter pages, and YouTube channel.
If you have a presence online, you know that consistent branding builds familiarity… which can help strengthen your customers’ trust in you and your business presence 
It’s pretty much no secret by now, that I took a 4 year “hiatus” from online marketing (and just about everything else in my life) after my (ex)husband of 11 years walked out on me. Seriously, after 15 years together… and one BEAUUUUTIFUL son together, he just ups and leaves without a warning. It’s traumatic.
So, my whole world is turned upside-down and falls completely apart… and I feel the only way I can keep on moving forward is to… drop everything and focus on my son.
Which isn’t such a bad thing. I was team-mom for all activities JRoc participated in. I was room-mom at his school… joined the PTA… and I even took on the role of PTA President. I was den-mom for his Cub Scout troop and his Religious Ed teacher. Everything I did revolved around my son.
My mom’s friend got scammed *real bad* in Vegas.
And she’s not some dummy who didn’t know any better either… but, the scammer “prequalified” her before she voluntarily handed over $500 in cash to him.
She never met him (the scammer) before… he didn’t grab her purse and run… he didn’t force her in any way to hand over her money.
As a matter of fact, the scammer had his victim wishing she had more money to give him!
Here’s what happened:
The woman (we’ll call her Jackie) was vacationing in Vegas with her husband over the New Years holiday. She was downstairs playing the slots while her husband was napping in their room upstairs.
A good looking, well dressed man approached her and started a conversation. He asked if she was there on vacation… mentioned how “it must be fantastic to be single and on the go” (where she revealed her husband was sleeping upstairs)… to which he commented “I should’ve known. Attractive women like yourself always marry doctors” (and she “corrected” him and told him her hubby is a pilot for a major airline).
After chatting for a few minutes, he asked her to have coffee with him at the cafe right outside the gambling area, to which Jackie agreed.
