 Dear League of American Poets, Thank you for trying to scam me out of $24.95 + shipping. Please f**k off. At least try to make the letter believable next time. Spell check is your friend baby. How many of you have ever been conned by something like this? My mommy was so proud of me too.  |

Scammers :O
Most of the time they DO make it look quite real, though I see a few that look like they were made up by a 12 year old. I've come to make myself believe that any offers on the internet are scams.

bbb.org is your BEST friend when it comes to this stuff. There's always the super obvious con ones, but it's always good to scan the legit-looking stuff through the BBB.
