I've been asking myself, since the night of Friday, May 29, if I have a sign on my forehead that reads, 'Come Con Me', or the way I carry myself makes con artists think I'll be susceptible to being conned?
On the night in question, I was headed outside campus and had gotten to Institute of African Studies when a guy walked up from behind me. The moment he asked me for directions to a Christ Embassy campus meeting, I knew what game was afoot!
My first post describes in detail a similar experience on two very different occasions. This time, when I was told not to go barefooted, the explanation given was that I have detractors in my house/hostel who do not wish me well.
Intriguing? Yes. But I was so over it. Whoever said lightening does not strike the same place twice has obviously not met me. Plus, the first time is novel, the second time; a crazy coincidence, the third time; just plain annoying and a cause for concern. Which begs my question, do the pheromones I exude attract con artists rather than potential mates? Or I just look naive or out of place because this is so damned infuriating!
And a word to the con artists; they may want to consider tweaking their modus operandi a whole lot cos really, the game is getting old. How do they expect a female, no matter how gullible they think she is, to just follow two males into the darkness for more spiritual revelations, in this day and age, in ACCRA no less, just because they mentioned 'Pastor Chris', 'Christ Embassy', and a bunch of superstitious-sounding stuff in the same sentence!
I mean, COME ON PEOPLE!!!
