I am doing research for a new episode about how to avoid scammers, cheaters, exploiters, con-artists, etc. I would like to hear your stories about how you were conned or swindled in life. It could be financial, business, medical, relationship, etc. Could be something major or minor. Please keep your story concise. We don't need your entire life story. Also share what lesson you learned from this incident. And what is it about you that made you fall prey to this con?
