Something wicked this way comes

What was the catch? 

There had to be something, not right about this deal, I could be wrong, but there was something not correct about what went down.

Less than 30 minutes earlier, the lady, and I, hadn't been in contact. During our talk about publishing, I told her I had no money, then she drops a BOMBSHELL.

She "claimed" if I sent some money from her to an orphanage she would send me $1,000. 

Seems too good to be true - RULE 101 - if something appears too good to be true, it usally is.

The lady could have been genuine, but there was a lot weird going on I suspected. Not only did we not have contact, but why me, when she has over 900 other contacts "apparently" to contact?

She probably thought, being short of cash, and new to her regime, I would jump at the money.

I won't deny the money would have solved a few problems for me, but at what cost?
