Speaking of being careful.
We're helping our youngest son move this weekend.......he's transferring to Joplin Missouri, of all places, and 10 k for moving expenses, which may not be bad for assistant manager at a home/building supply company, but ..... it is Joplin, where only about 10 years ago the United States costliest tornado ever which killed 158 people happened. And they had 2 or 3 major tornadoes before that going back to 1971.

I would've talked them up to at least 30k.

Hehehehe... That was funny...

I do believe there might possibly be a scammer here. If he (or she) starts asking for donations for Ukraine to his (or her) PayPal I wouldn't do it if I were you. I don't trust these people. Although I wish them luck if it's genuine, it's sickening if they're now using the war in Ukraine as sympathy just so they can get rich.

They're probably BLM members or supporters. Lol...

Thanks for the warning.

I saw that post and reported it as spam. Member's first post was asking for money.

I don't even reply to those types of posts, I report them as spam as soon as I notice them.

If people didn't report spam then messageboards like this one would be nothing but spam.

Software set up to catch spammers......doesn't always get everyone.

I refuse to use paypal after they shut down donations they didnt like.

They closed my account after I donated to a person/group they did not like.

I couldn't figure it out and thought they might have blocked my account because of fraud...nope...wrong think.

Oh and the reason that I posted this as a topic is you would be surprised how many people fall for scams out there so I just wanted to warn you.

Were you solicited for donations for Ukraine? I noticed you mentioned this twice (here and another thread)

Yep...
He's gonna need a little extra coin to build a storm shelter if the house doesnt already have one.
I know damn good and well I'd have one.

Yes, that's the whole entire point of this thread and I think the other one you're talking about was in the introductions forum.

Thanks for the warning.

Oh and no problem.

They didn't ask for money in that introductions thread. I assume they're direct messaging some?

Actually they did. Muhammed saw it too and reported it as spam. They just changed their post after they were called out on it. They left an email address and to put the money onto their PayPal.

Thanks. I must have seen it later

Yeah, I bet you could question the mods about it too if you wanted to know since Muhammed reported it before me.

 

[Road Runner]

Actually, they might possibly be banned now. It's still good to keep in mind for the future though that there are people like this.

Their stock price has dropped something like 75% since July, due in no small part to their new pogrom.

I hate scammers; they make people unduly wary of buying my ducks that lay solid gold eggs.
