A Surprise Spoof - John Dunn, Consultant, Ambertec, P.E., P.C.

Some postings on a neighborhood bulletin board hold a lesson that might not be immediately obvious.

Specifically, when the writer had a dispute with a ticket vendor, she looked up that vendor's phone number on Google and instead of acquiring the ticket vendor's correct phone number, she found a false phone number that had been planted on-line. She then called that false number thinking it was legitimate.

The rest of the story speaks for itself: Be careful about what information you accept and choose to act on.
