she approaches you in Poppies 2 and ties a band around your wrist, then says it needs to be trimmed and leads you down an alley. You are then surrounded by several rather nasty people who then proceed to try to do everything to you from manicures, pedicures, braiding etc then take all money you have on you. Have tried to attach the link to posting I read other wise go to archive for April 05 then go to bottom of archive - first JBR posted "JBR - From a Newbie posted by Anna. She warns about it as it happened to her and then several follow up postings who also had it happen to them.
