re: Which of these scams did your parents/grandparents fall for?

I assumed the Avon lady was my mom's best friend but only saw her when she was bringing my mom soap and makeup.

When my wife and I had our first kid and we're having issues in our marriage, we looked to the church for answers. They pointed us to a small Bible study group. We met at the home of our host, we ate and talked a little about the Bible. It was pretty cool because we were meeting new people, getting in touch with our faith and our kids had new friends.

That lasted a week. The next week, the men went to the movies while the women had a Mary Kay party. Then, the men stopped being invited all together and it was just women trying on makeup. No Bible study whatsoever.

The ONLY time we heard from that couple is during holidays to see if we were interested in any Mary Kay products. The husband would legit text me to see if I needed makeup for my wife lol. Eventually, we stopped responding to their texts.

We saw them a few years ago at Target. My wife told them hi and they just smiled and kept on walking.
