how is this start?

I’m a skeptic. It’s almost like I have a radar that detects fraud. I’m also very curious. I try to explore as much as I possibly can about this world as long as I am still breathing. These two characteristics combined have allowed me to have one of the most interesting experiences of my life. I was working a late shift at a retail store one evening when I was approached by a tall and well-groomed man in a suit. The man asked, “how much is this store paying you”? I didn’t respond. The man gave me information about a company that he works for who is hiring part-time college students like myself. He said that he was a hiring manager and they offered to pay double the amount that I made at my job. Immediately, my doubts kicked in.
I knew in the back of my mind that something like this was sketchy. As my skepticism went into drive, so did my curiosity. I decided to see what this was all about. We exchanged phone numbers and I was scheduled for an interview for the next week. I became inquisitive and this job and how this company worked. I did some research online to find out that this was indeed a pyramid scheme.


I am trying to lead this into how I saw people getting caught into scams and as an attorney i would like to try to help people like this

I would head a different direction personally. Sounds a bit like something I'd hear on the 5 o' clock news team's investigative report...

If you're committed to this story line, make sure you show how you do something rather than telling.

Are you the same person who posted this thread? http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 8&t=217998

If so, I'd recommend not fabricating your story. The similarities between the two suggest they're the same story, but I don't see how the details are reconcilable.
