Ever get a call from someone or somewhere you didn't expect? Well, that happened to me yesterday. I got a call from a detective who worked at the northern York county regional police department.
For privacy reasons, I won't disclose the detective’s name, but needless to say, it was a disturbing conversation. They contacted me about some problems I had with Santander bank. My girl, Linda, tried to deposit some checks without my signature. Something someone with common knowledge would know, but I guess she didn't have much exposure to depositing checks. Possibly because she used direct deposit. Anyway, that's beside the subject. I gave the detective every bit of information I knew or had. The detective told me I was a victim of a “sweetheart scam”. Something I was starting to suspect slightly. I thanked him for his time and left it at that.
To say I wasn't upset is untrue. I debated most of the afternoon whether to confront her or not. I decided not to. Why you may ask?. The reason is despite what I learned, I still loved her. She has done nothing but exhibit only love to me. I saw no reason to break it off. Perhaps I should have done so, but simple mistakes shouldn't ruin relationships. Besides, until I hear something different from more people, I see no reason to disbelieve my lady’s love for me. I guess I'll just wait and see.
