Why do Chinese people keep calling me everyday and asking me if I have received my "Healthy Food Card" or my "Flex" Card"? I've been to Hong Kong, I know what a Chinese accent sounds like. What kind of con is this? I know that I can't be the only one getting these calls. I've been getting these calls for many months, perhaps over a year. What is going on?

Interesting. I've been to Hong Kong 5 times, then going on to visit circuit board manufacturers in Guandong China. Never once got Chinese people calling me. Then again, my travels were around 1997-2005ish timeframe. So maybe it's a new thing.

Why would I call you from Hong Kong? Rumor has it you're in a comfortable townhouse in the tiny island nation of Wallis and Fatuna.

We could have had some dim sum in Tsim Sha Tsui.
