Default warning: insurance scam:

The AFLAC Scam

Watch out for this scam. Police say that the gang usually comprises four members, one adult and three younger ones.

While the three younger ones, all appearing sweet and innocent, divert their 'mark' (or intended target) with a show of friendliness , the fourth -- the eldest -- sneaks in from behind the person's back to expertly rifle through his or her pockets and purses or bags for any valuables being carried.

The picture below was taken from CCTV shows the gang in operation.

I had a similar problem where three pretty bikes just stood there luring me in. Next thing I knew, a salesman had my credit card info! He had very light fingers--I never felt a thing!

in that case, NEVER visit the Titus factory. trust me. one 1/2 hour visit, see some milling machines and other cool toys, one test ride (oh, but it just happens to be your size...), $700 gone on a aluminum HT.
