beware of suspicious looking characters..

January 10, 2012 3:28am CST
i was at the ATM a few minutes ago. when i noticed a poster saying "watch out for scammers". beside it is another poster "guidelines in using the ATM", and number 1 guideline is "look at your surroundings before using the ATM, if you find anybody suspicious, do not use the ATM". i noticed that both posters contains a picture of the scammer or suspicious looking character. both of them with MUSTACHE. now, why is it that pictures of suspicious looking characters, goons, hoodlums, bad guys, etc., all or mostly have mustaches? (it kinda concerns me coz i do have a mustache)

I think you are influence by what you watch in movies, my friend. Because not all the bad guys are having mustaches or an ugly guys. Because those good looking guys are much brutal because we can't always treat them as good people because of their looks

There are a lot of times where people lurk around, and no matter what they look at, you have to kind of careful. When there are people who you see for instance walking down the sidewalk and you see them pretty often when you are in the same area, you might wonder. Then again, they might wonder about you. We live in some tough times to say the very least. There is a lot of criminals, and there is a lot of crimes to say the very least. Using the ATM with anyone around, yeah that might not be a good idea. Then again, I don't even think there is an ATM around here for years, but if there is, I surely have never used it. Still there were problems years back with people looking over your shoulder, which can never be good. Just a case of identity theft waiting to happen.

And I was thinking that only policemen were wearing a mustache in my country. All the problem is to determine a "suspicious looking character". We don't judge a book by its cover : all men wearing a mustache cannot be suspicious.

Yes, they could have mustache but not all. I use ATM machines today twice. Indeed we have to be on the look for suspicious people. I am hard on determining those suspicious people around that is why I need to secure my belongings very well.

hello there! it feels weird right beware of people with mustache! this is so funny! LOL! most of the crooks now a days don't look like the conventional crooks, some really look decent. I think though that they should not judge a person by the way he looks, of course sometimes it works but not all the time. Sometimes it can also hurt feelings. but also beware, they might be right. have a great day ahead
