It could save you a lot of trouble and grief.
Eric, I think you've done a service by posting this and don't see a reason to worry about it getting deleted. There are many users on CD that are in high school and are looking at college. If, after reading this post, it saves only one person from being scammed out of money.........then this post has done it's job.  |
It is a shame. I mean, I understand why people would do this (not saying I condone it though), but I just don't see how it's right. But, it's life.
There's things like this all over in everything any human can do. I've been scammed in poetry contests before, and so has other people in other areas.
I posted this in hopes that someone doesn't make the same mistake as I have in the past.
The BBB is a great resource, but I didn't think about that site when I did the search
If anyone wants to know if something's a scam, just type in whatever the product is, or do something like "edefil scam"...there will be atleast one resource for it.
