		<description>From the Pokeys link
A McDonald&#039;s manager (female) in Leitchfield, Kentucky was convinced on November 30, 2000 to undress before a customer when the caller persuaded her that the customer was a suspected sex offender and that her serving as bait would permit undercover officers to arrest him when he showed an interest in her.[2] 

Does anyone have a brain anymore? This customers visit was &quot;super-sized&quot; by the managers cretinous gullibility. Hubba-hubba.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Pokey moved his IRA into Real Estate&lt;/b&gt;
When I was layed off from my last job, I moved my IRA into a self directed IRA which allows me to invest in real estate.

&lt;blockquote&gt;

Historically, real estate has given many Americans with a stable investment vehicle that provides both income and appreciation. One of the greatest tools available to real estate investors is government-sponsored retirement plans, such as IRAs and 401(k)s.

Most investors believe that their only IRA investment options are bank CDs, the stock market, and mutual funds.

Few Americans realize that they have the option to self-direct their IRAs and other retirement plans into real estateÃ¢â‚¬â€and that they can benefit from the tax advantages those plans provide. IRA investments earn tax-deferred/tax-free profits.

Equity Trust is a passive Self Directed IRA custodian that offers a truly self-directed IRA and self directed 401(k).

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Pokey pays about $400 per year for unlimited service, which is mostly paying bills (water power, repairs ...)
You can also trade stocks, which I should not have done, since those are worth less than 1/2 what I paid about 12 months ago.  These fees are about $20 per trade.


There are other provides, but this was one of the biggest and oldest that I found with understandable fees.   I have been pleased with the service.

They also have regular seminars and education material.</description>

		<description>Pokey, I have a client who had a successful restaurant, but his night manager was tricked by this same call.  It was stupid, but the attitude in small towns is to repect the police.  It turned into a nightmare, ruining the life of the manager and ultimately resulting in the owner deciding to close the restaurant.  The girl did get a considerable settlement.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Prank Stripping&lt;/b&gt;
The strip search prank call scam was a series of incidents occurring for roughly a decade before an arrest was made in 2004. These incidents involved a man calling a restaurant or grocery store, claiming to be a police detective, and convincing managers to conduct strip searches of female employees or perform other unusual acts on behalf of the police. The calls were usually placed to fast-food restaurants in small rural towns.

Over 70 such occurrences were reported in 30 U.S. states, until an incident in 2004 in Mt. Washington, Kentucky finally led to the arrest and charging of David Stewart, a 37-year-old employee of Corrections Corporation of America.  On October 31, 2006, he was acquitted of all charges (but Pokey thinks he did it)

The final call was made to a McDonald&#039;s restaurant in Mount Washington, Kentucky on April 9, 2004. According to assistant manager Donna Summers, the caller identified himself as a policeman, &#039;Officer Scott&#039;, who described a female employee he suspected of stealing a purse. After the caller demanded that the employee be searched at the store, or taken to jail, the employee was brought into an office and ordered to remove her clothes, which Summers took to her car. Another assistant manager was present during this time. After an hour Summers told the caller that she was required at the counter, and the caller then told her to bring in her fiance, Walter Nix.

Nix arrived and took over from Summers, following the caller&#039;s directions for the next 2 hours. He removed the apron the employee had covered herself with, ordered her to dance and perform jumping jacks. He also ordered her to sit on his lap and kiss him.
