Forgot to respond this one:

If something sounds too good to be true, it most probably is.
My friend told me he has a habit rejecting a phone call if the number is not listed in his phone book. If you work as an employee, that's fine, but if you work as a businessman, it's like refusing a potential new business. A decent businessman would explore as many new things as possible, even if they're too good to be true 
But in this case, if it's a scam, it would in most cases affect the company you're working for instead of you. (Of corse you could still get fired if you've done a bad job.)
BTW: I once heard about this guy who went to the minibank to take out some money. In order to take his wallet, take out his cellphone first and put it on top of the minibank. When he'd done that, he heard someone fighting behind him. He turned around to see who it was that was fighting, and when he turned back, his cellphone was gone. He immidiately turned around again, but the two fighting guys were also disappeared.

No, Edna, in that case it means you're still an employee I was referring to someone like a business owner, small/medium - doesn't matter - but entrepreneur-type of a person.

But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it.

Say, you drive in the middle of the night crossing over a quiet road and see a hitchhiker needs a lift. Would you pull over to help him?
Well, honestly, I'm a quite selfenlightened person. I have the ability to change perspective and se myself from different views, but that's not the point. I think it would depend on how he/she looks, even though it pains me.

Lets say 3 racists do attack a colored man, which is one of the worst things in my eyes. Would i stand inbetween them, to help him? The answer is no. I wouldnt even make a comment to stop them. You say coward!? You say you would defend him? You are a liar.
I would, after some thinking. As I said, I would se things from his actual view, every strike would hurt me as well (sounds like empathy know that I say it). I couldn't live with the thought that somewhere some one would be told that their brother/sister/mom/dad/son/doughter/whatever got killed in a fight in the streets cuz' he was black (or whatever). That he/she got attacked in a three against one fight (or something like that). The shame and guilt would haunt me for years, maybe for the rest of my life (I sure hope so!).
My brother was out drinking with some friends, he and a guy from Turkey (I think) was walking home and they bumped into a gang of skinheads, about five. They tried to start a fight with the turk, but my brother talked them out of it (he can talk), and they just walked right by them. When they skinheads had passed them and they started walking again they looked behind and saw that they skinheads started to run towards them. They got chased for several blocks and then the skinheads gave up but my brother and his friend kept running until they got home to the turks apartment. The point is that my brother could've slipped away from the possible fight (easily) and let the skinheads do whatever thay wanted, (and I really wonder what five skinheads would do to a lonely turk in a cold dark street?) but he didn't. I wouldn't and my other brother wouldn't (similiar things have happend to him), maybe my little brother would (but he's eight so that doesn't really count), my dad woudn't and my mom would be the first to defend her friends against anything, even though she's 40+ and 1.65.
Sorry for the long post, but I can't really stand people that assumes that no one would really sacrafise their lives to help a stranger just because they wouldn't.

Well, at least, a business owner should know how to detect a swindle.
