No news today
This blog has been left feeling a bit abandoned of late.
Most of the paranoid psychos, looneys and fruit loops I am usually in contact with have been discussing health issues, so my blogs have been showing up at my fighting scam blog.
But, never fear. I have been reading some articles that teach how to do the swindle that made Jonathan Edwards famous, cold reading.
With some practice and a gullible audience, it seems like something that most people could learn. If you've got the gift of the gab and know the tricks of the trade, there are millions of gullible people out there just waiting to swindle you out of your money.
Some of those tricks will be presented here in the future. At the moment, I'm concentrating on the deceptions and half-truths that are being perpetrated in the world of health fraud.
