I guess I am lucky because I have always gone with honesty is the best policy, but I have been on the receiving end of this kind of thing ... I think if the cons understood we often know they are doing it, they'd stop. More people are actually turned off than manipulated. I once said to a guy ... just because I don't call BS, doesn't mean I don't smell it. Politeness is often confuses with gullibility.
