... But only if absolutely certain the scam artist doesn’t have skills in the Breaking & Entering arena as well.

How can the old-fashioned afiler stay in business if he becomes known as someone who cheats his customers? Surely everyone who is scammed tells their neighbors and friends until eventually the customer pool is small. Then they charge even more??? That’s not a very winning business model.

I’m glad you still have your scissors. The afiler had better watch his back!

That’s awful! Good of you to warn all of us, serafina. I’d always wanted to give business to a grinder because I love the old-fashioned flutes that announce their arrival.

I hate that this happened to the two of you. Please describe the scissors the scam artists kept, and we will bring you some new ones when we come back. (Maybe someone makes self-sharpening scissors!)
