They do anything to get what they wont

There is a lot of them out there, just think, if it isn't an attorney or publisher where upfront payment is normal, then you may be dealing with a dishonest person. This happened to me once when a prospective broker brought along a beauty queen to manipulate me to pay him the retainer. I didn't go for it but the danger is there as they use some slick language and try to flatter with the names of famous people they know.
