Pardon me for jumping in. For me, being Dutch and not a native speaker of English, the expression 'I remember a scam like that' is indeed interpreted to mean that 'that' is also seen as scam. So, I agree with Denis.
But now a question. I didn't know that word, so I looked it up on
www.dictionary.com (thesaurus). Which meaning was meant: fool, defraud, mislead, trick, false, overstate? Or are they all the same? If not, may it be that Denis had another definition come to mind than Hank meant?
To be clear about my own position: I think that we all here should not be too softhearted.
>Indeed; and if you want to infer from that, fine, but let's not confuse your inference with my assertion, which was that I remembered a scam like that, not that this a scam. It was a warning to look carefully, not a judgment; that judgment came from your inference.
