SIDNEY MADE A PLAN

With the driver still speaking Sidney listen, when he said, "Ma'am, I have learned to be very careful when it comes to this kind of business and investment, I do odds jobs to meet my family's demands and I can't afford to make a mistake, my family depends on me, but these people have no mercy swindling people hard earn money. But if you say this is good that you visit this place and from what you are saying, then this is a good investment."

"I will like to hope so," Sidne whispers, still having a slight doubt in her mind after what she just heard.

Sidney ponders for a while on the testimony before she said, "It seems so, but from what you are saying this could be a fraud that is well taught out to swindle innocent people. What I want to know is if these people don't fear God, don't they think that when these people cry that their tears fall on them and later doen the word they will get caught?"

"Ma'am, wickedness doesn't have a conscience, but you know the saying, every day for the thief, one day for master, God always seek vengeance for his people."

Hearing her laugh he looks at her through the review mirror, wondering why she laughs, she seems very smart.

When she said, "You are right God will deal with them in His own timing, and His judgment is not like man's judgment. I must thank you for enlightening me about the different types of schemes out there. In your line of work, you hear and see many things, but like me just being confined in an office sometimes put me at a disadvantage."

With that in mind, Sidney decides to shut out the idea of investing until she does some serious research.

When the driver said, "Ma'am, will you be investing in this financial institution? I know of a few bogus institutions that I had already come across, they set up their business just for a few weeks to look legitimate and then when the people who invested returned, they were never heard from again. It was then they realized they were scammed of their hard earn money, so please be careful ma'am, I have driven in this route so many times and this is the first I heard of this agency."

"As I said I am thinking about it now, I will have to do some more researching, but I am seriously thinking about it, the report sound very intriguing and it looks real."

Realizing the young man was curious as he keep asking questions, responding to him, "Now I have a little peace of mind, my sister will have to hold with that investment for just a few days until I am satisfied in my mind that she won't be throwing away her hard earn money because it isn't easy accumulating fifty thousand in this hard time."

"Ma'am, if this investment, is a good deal, do you think I should invest?"

"I am thrilled with the thought; I don't think the bank gives such a fast turnover in such a short space of time."

"Ma'am, is it possible that I could meet this person to hear more about this investment?"

"I don't see why not; give me your contact number, and I will give you a call."

Collecting his card, "This is good, now when I need a taxi, I could call you."

Glimpsing at her a few times, 'it seems she is thinking about this seriously, but there is a frown on her face as though she is weighing what I have told her.

Eating her breakfast thinking, 'This proposition is not bad, but I need to weigh my options now. Just in case it is real I will get the ball rolling so that as soon as the cheque is clear I will finalize the contracts with them. But I need to know if this is really legitimate and what will I benefit from them if I bring in some new investors.'

Recalling Vince cautioning her, 'Sidney knew it was very good advice.' There are still some doubts in the back of her mind when suddenly memories of that day James came rushing back. 'He keeps telling me that this proposition is a good deal, recalling how he keeps, encouraging and insisting for her to invest as though he was getting something out of it.

Oh Lord, I trusted him hearing how easy it was to get a fast turnover. I never doubted him for one moment hearing him keep saying how much he loves me. I thought he had good intentions and would never do anything to jeopardize our future, but then he never turn up for our wedding.

And his speech for my wedding with Vince speaks for itself.' Recalling Vince saying he was low in cash, and he was banking on my help to get a loan, how did he know mom investment was coming through? Unless he was ready to pull another scam on someone because I know that if the financial agency is legitimate a statement will be confidential. And nothing was sent to me during the past two years.

Only time will tell, now if it is legitimate, in the meanwhile before I jump into another investment, I have to ensure that, this first cheque is clear then I will lunch out with my next plan.'

Closing her eyes pondering on the report the gentleman keeps repeating, as though he was trying his best to convince me it was real. I was convinced but this young man brought some light to what is really happening. Now I have to think twice before I invest,' when this small still voice keeps saying, "Be careful." Recalling the same voice was warning her before the marriage the day James met her at the Palace.

Now I am living to regret it every day. 'Oh Lord, why do I get this nagging feeling that these things sound too good to be true, it is a bit too cut and dry.' Whispering a word of prayer quickly, seeing that in the next five minutes she will reach her destination.
