Obviously, there was holes in the story. But was it really worth going digging up information just to trash the person? What a boring existence some must have.
I am sure she didnt give you information about court cases and whatever it is she does. If you didnt give her any money, you lost nothing. And at the end of the day after your detective work is over, what changed in your life?
Going on her pages slandering her? Really. I am so glad I am smart enough not to give too much personal info about myself, someone may decide to do a background check on me to see what they can find. I got nothing to hide but its a violation of my privacy, I dont care if I am on the internet.
When I read her post, I just shook my head and moved on. Nothing in me screamed 'Ooooo, let me go dig up some dirt on this person so I can tell all my friends what a loser she is". Just disgusting to watch. |
Privacy is important to many of us. But when you go all over the internet trying to raise money, for a sick dog (if there is even a sick dog), I believe one should be ready to have background facts checked out.
I applaud our members here who can search out further details on posters such as these.
They remind us that heart needs to be melded to head, and that a scam is borne every minute on the internet.
It is not telling folks what a loser she is, but saying to other readers who are susceptible, to think a moment, to be wary of these kinds of things.
