I just have a question I hope you can answer. I have been born and raised in Texas and for the past decade of doing business in Texas I have realized scams and rip offs are extremely prominent here. It has been a real eye opener for me reading your report when you wrote this con man stated how easy it is to rip people off in Texas. Upon reading your words, I realized: it is not just me & my bad luck! We get ripped off everywhere we turn here. Cashiers seldom offer correct change if you pay cash. Billing services are corrupt. Even our so-called legitimate businesses are reported here for repeated disservice and illegal billing practices. We all really have to be extra careful here. My question is: when that con man stated it was easy to rip people of here, did he mention why? Is our state just full of the exceptionally stupid consumers & crooked companies or is our state just BOUGHT by corporations at such a price that companies are more protected than people are?
