Scamtime

Stephanie and Karen get some good ol' girl hang out time with their guest Jan Alexandra Smith.  Jan feels scammed by a woman, but she's really OK with it. Karen shares a phone scam (not the kind you are thinking) and Stephanie gives a dialect lesson and an incredible dramatic reading of a scam email.

Special thanks to Jan Randall for sharing his email scam!

Karen can't for the life of her find any Ringo Starr performances in Edmonton Alberta in the years that she was in school in Red Deer. 
Maybe it was the one on Aug 25 1989? 
https://concerts.fandom.com/wiki/Ringo_Starr

But she doesn't think she still lived in Red Deer then.
She might not know what the hell she is talking about

Who Ponzi-ed before Ponzi?  Are you a real artists if you are a 'scam' artist?

Dollar-Cost Averaging
With dollar-cost averaging, you commit to buying a fixed dollar amount of a specific investment, like a stock or mutual fund, at regular intervals, regardless of the share price at the time of purchase. With this approach, you wind up buying more shares when prices are low and fewer shares when prices are high.
