The Shocking Truth Behind Getting Scammed—And Why Some People Want It That Way
And there was a challenge I never anticipated. Among the questions I did understand, some were surprisingly profound. Debbie asked, what did writing this memoir teach me about love? “Shawn” wondered if the experience in the story changed my trust in people. They could see me on video, so they probably noted my long pause and suddenly serious demeanor.
We wrapped up the meetings, thanked each other, signed off, and I shrugged. They had kept their end of the deal, so I would keep mine. Granted, in no universe was I Zooming with an LGBTQ Book Club in Chicago but still, there had been a Zoom. Maybe the whole thing had been legitimate after all, if we stretch the meaning of “legitimate.” So the next day, exuding bonhomie, off I went to the bank and the Post Office to send my donation to “Shawn’s” supervisor at the address he provided. I emailed him with the update.
