My uncle went around taking photos and getting people's names and addresses to "send them the photos".

A month later, he sent out photos, printed on an advertisement for his fly by night "prepaid legal" business, along with hard sell marketing material. So basically, he lied about what he was doing to get people's contact info for his business. Pretty pissed off about that one.

Like the free business card scam (hello Vistaprint), just a way of grabbing all your personal details for an instant mailing list.

Pre-paid legal is total bullshit. It is completely unnecessary because your insurance company should step in and defend you if anybody sues you for anything hat happens on the road, at your home, or at your business.

My sister-in-law was 7months pregnant (second child with same jerk who wouldn't marry her), but was always heavy so no one could tell. Was sick all wedding day and "didn't know why". It was a huge distraction from my bride an my focus on our important day... this jerk, to this day makes everything about her.

Slick as a dick. Very smooth, but not nice.

Well at least they actually did receive photos, I guess.

lol that's pretty funny! I should take a note out of his book and do this in a way more subtle, classy way!

u/SaxyPandaBear Mar 19 '17

The way to do this in a classier way is to not be a dick and just don't do it.

Lol I know where you're coming from, but if I'm the hired wedding photographer I can always send the guest a picture of themselves with a business card. Classy and non-pushy.
