Wow, 3 out of 5 (at least)

How to tell if someone is going to rip you off:
- The person will almost always gladly pay the first bill, or your deposit amount.
- The swindler almost always talks a lot. They will drop names to sound like they’re respected in the community.
- Often will have very ambitious business goals along with high confidence.
- Don’t assume your friend will pay you back.
- If someone is planning to rip you off, they’ll ask very few questions about your pricing.
I’ll let you guess which one is #1 for me, but I’m not bitter. Now I just have to talk to my accountant to see if this is something I can write off last year’s taxes.
