Holy crap, Brenda! Note to self: avoid sending significant sums of money to shady characters.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Note to self: perhaps a career as a shady character would have been a more profitable plan.

I have this theory that it's because she's from Miami that things seem reasonable to her that to any normal person are clearly DANGER WILL ROBINSON. It's the only thing I can figure.

It does seem to be pretty lucrative.

You would think that being from Miami she would be more alert for scams. It is really hard to have sympathy for that level of stupid. There was no part of this that sounded like a good idea.

Seriously. I mean, frankly, assuming this doesn't go any further or get any weirder, she's actually getting off lucky. What if this guy had gone and attacked the renter? This could all have gone so wrong in ways that don't have to do with money.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm just glad that shady guy was more interested in scamming her out of money than getting his violence on.
