being scammed

sometime during the summer, i received a letter saying that i hadn't paid for a subscription to a Christian magazine. i had never heard of the magazine, nor had i received a free issue or anything. at the time, my mom was at work, so i was just going to wait till she got home until i did anything with it. but then i started looking some stuff up on the internet. once i looked up the name of the person who signed the letter, i realized it was a scam. i found many websites that had these complaints and such. and an article that said to contact my local attorney general. well, i never did. but today i got another follow up letter from these people. i don't understand why these people would do such a thing.

when i was scammed a month or so ago, it was really fun once i found out that i was being scammed. my brother asked if it was fun this time, and i said not really. i just wish they would quit sending me these things. they're wasting their resources.

I'm sorry:( I remember you telling me about it the first time around. Must be pretty annoying for you. Are you going to do anything about it? This would go great in your future autobiograpghing...."Being scammed" oh boy...I should really be making notes of these things! so i'll remember when you finally get around to writting that book:)

oh, yes, my book. i'm glad all these things are happening so it'll make my book more interesting. i feel like i need to find a common theme. like that 16 page dity i wrote during the summer. that, my friend, had a common theme. but i'm sure i'll think of one. writing my book can be the evening project i do whenever i'm done with college and out working at a radio station.
