Beware

Beware of opportunists that come knocking under the guise of friendship. They're good at conveniently using the three magic words, "I love you," to take undue advantage of your genteel disposition. They are experts in hoodwinking you into granting them favors they don't plan on returning. You might have heard about or even known a soul, or two. Wolves in sheep's clothing who trick people into getting what they want. They know your weaknesses and waste no time using them against you. Once they get what they need, they run and hide. You're suddenly a strange face. When you're beset with misfortune and reach out for a helping hand, they scurry away like roaches when the light is switched on. Some hide in plain sight! You hang your faith on their promises only to see them ring hollow. Watch out for these con artists! hidden in plain sight beware of opportunists wolves in sheep's clothing Date written: 07/26/2020
