I almost got hoodwinked into one of these. I even notified the Agency involved about the scam, and reported it to police. Soured me so much on ANY of the headhunters, I pulled away completely and now try mightily to survive on just the SS we get. Seems the older I get, the more cynical and untrusting I become. Life didn't used to be like this. Now, it seems like everyone is out to make a profit whether or not its illegal, unethical, or mean. I'm left wondering what the hell I'm still doing alive. I don't fit this society; I obviously don't have anything left to contribute for its betterment. I'm just hoping the couple of generations under me can sort this crap out.
