A few months ago I had to take my niece to Wal-Mart to ask for donations for her Girl Scout troop's auction. The Girl Scout's gave me a whole bunch of paperwork with Girl Scout contact numbers and such, but when I went up to Wal-Mart's customer service desk and asked they gave me a $100 gift certificate without even asking to see any documentation. This even though I'm far from a clean cut, respectable looking guy (I have long hair, tattoo's and facial piercings). It is a lot easier to con people than you would think, even if you are not trying...
