My dog is growling, and the idiot didn't have a muffler, so I heard him like a mile away driving to my house. He gave up and never heard from him since. Since then, I refuse to give my address and only meet people in a public place.

But on Facebook, I can check the person out and see if they are legit. It's easier to tell who is phony and what area they are living in.
