There are people online (and on adland) who are not what they seem.

These types of people will do such things as give sob stories in order to get money from you,  or get you to invest in their programs.

Some examples:

1) My child is going on a Field Trip this year, it is going to be a wonderful experience for him/her, but unfortunately I cannot afford to let them go, please send money via paypal ---

2) My son/husband/wife is sick and we need you to join this program so that I can make money to pay bills --

Sometimes they post this at the forums, sometimes they send it to your pm, sometimes it is a link in their signature -- leading you to one of their sites where they are asking for money..

IF you know this person (or people) personally,  and you know it is in honesty,  that is great to help them! 

If you do not personally know this person,  please Be Aware! 
Not everyone online is honest!  There are more dishonest online than you would believe!  And it can be very difficult to spot them sometimes... especially if/when they seem so sweet and helpful.

I hope this helps some of you.. I hate to see innocent people fall victims of Dishonest People!

God Bless!

Other things to Be Aware of...

1) People who claim to be things that they aren't..  They may claim to be the Worlds Greatest Marketer -- but this doesn't mean it is so.

And alot of times, if you follow their lead... you will be putting money in their pocket.. but as for yourself,  you will end up going Bankrupt..

2) People who hide their true identities.. Look at the photos of the members closely.  Which ones look real?  Which ones look like they were copied from a Modeling or Mail Order Bride site?

Please just be careful..

Hi Monica

Thank you for posting this, because I myself am pretty sure of who you are talking about.

I think it's a shame when people stoop so low, as to create a story, just to get money out of you.

If I were to tell these people I need, I need, please help, and they gave me money to help support myself. I couldn't live with myself. 

I may not be in the best financial shape, but god always finds a way for me to make it through each and every day.

I am online to make a living, and if I can't do it honestly, then I don't need to be here.

Thanks for posting this
