As I drink my coffee and skim through the classifieds, my eyes are drawn to an ad that reads “Identity portfolio enhancements—
passports, name changes, credit histories, work credentials, references—arrange for a free and confidential consultation.” The phone number looks familiar. I reach for my cell phone, punch in the numbers and wait. It’s Bobby! My god! How could they have known?
And how could they be so upfront as to give their real phone number? The identity shop that I went to was a back-alley, basement operation, but these guys are operating right out in the open in the middle of the financial district.
There's Bob, but it doesn’t matter now. There are no hidden jobs in this pyramid.
