List of Common Tricks or Modus

Updated 14 September 2019...by Your Cross and Resurrection You have saved the world... The focal point of listing all tricks or modus here is not my main point, I've realized.

Perhaps while praying you still get duped, but hey it's not big time, and maybe God is saying to you hey wake up or something more ominous is coming.

I called on her that she's not yet paid, while she insisted all along that she already paid me. What really happened? While I was packing her goods, her small child is menacing her for a chocolate she doesn't want to buy for a reason, but end up still buying it, and unconsciously opened her purse and paid me the chocolate, gave the chocolate to the kid and slipped unconsciously her other payment back to her purse, got the packaged good and left. You can see how haggard she was to go back home already because she's carrying too much goods bought from other stores. That's rea
