Legitimate charities do not use private messages or email to solicit new members. If you receive an unsolicited email or PM asking for money for charity, the odds that it's legit are less than 1 in 10,000.
I have recieved NUMEROUS fraudulant offers AND EVEN PAYMENTs for items listed in the classifieds....
Ive accumulated about $20000 in money orders, money grams and cashiers checks. ALL FAKE.
The best one was I was asking $2700 for my laptop. Guy sends me 2 money orders for $2500 EACH and asks me to cash them and send his "associate" the rest. Well the money orders were ISSUED almost 4 months before i even posted the ad. I called the 800 num on the back and they were cashed more then a year ago.
Ive gotten the EXACT same email from about 14 people, and some that are only slightly changed.....they have a friend or reletive working in egypt, nigeria, or somewhere in africa. and sak you to cash the money orders, and send the rest to the associate.

This is where terrorists get their money.

We can filter scam responses if you make people reply though the site
If you talk to the animals they will talk to you, If you do not talk to them you will not know them. And what you do not know you will fear. What one fears,one destroys. ~Chief Dan George. (1899 - 1981)
