A friendly reminder to hobbiest , it's that time of the year again. Vacation, leisure, slow times. Some get hit hard by lack of business and the scamsters come out. (Not to say that any of you fine ladies out there fit this bill.) Just beware, there are many out there who will proposition you for "business" deals, invest in real estate, send airline tickets, send you a check and ask to forward money before the check is officially cleared, invest in a "pizza shop" "car wash" "pool cleaning" "special education" "karate school" "part owner in _____" fill in the blank. Some of these "offas you can't refuse" range from $10,000 to upwards of a  million. Don't let the small lower brain take over when big upper brain should be the one making the decisions!! Better be safe than sorrrry.
