PREVENTING SCAM

DON'T ever send (or receive) money to anyone for ANY reason
DON'T give out your email address as it may be gathered for spam mail lists.
DON'T share your personal or family info.
DON'T follow links to other websites. Why do they want you to leave?.. mail is free here.
DON'T email photos of yourself or family that may be used to scam others.
DON'T be misled by perfect photos. Real people don't look like models.
DON'T say we didn't warn you



keep your head up : )
