FILE - This Thursday, Dec. 4, 2014 file photo made in Cambridge, Mass. and provided by The Salvation Army shows a diamond ring, valued at $1,850, and a wedding band, that were placed in a red donation kettle outside Boston's North Station. The Salvation Army said the rings, given by an anonymous widow in honor of her late husband, were accompanied by a note in which the woman said she hoped they would be sold and the money used to buy toys for needy children. Salvation Army Major David Davis said Monday, Dec. 15, 2014 that a former bell ringer has offered $21,000 for the two rings. (AP Photo/The Salvation Army, Salvation Army Lt. Michael Harper, File)
Embracement
Players are everywhere. They are at your local bar, in line at Whole Foods, at dog parks and so on. They prey on naive trusting souls and know how to reel you in with their good looks and charming one liners. By the time you're done talking, they've already managed to get your name, address, social security number and keys to your car. A way to spot these smooth talkers is they are just that ... way too smooth.
