Well I am coming out of the closet here. I have lost my shirt as they say in Hardwood. Well Hardwood is a great place to make friends. I have met many people here. I also have been blessed with a Job and the ability to make money. With that said, I sometimes have found myself lonely and looking for love. And yes here at Hardwood I have found it. Well I found one person who was drug user who when it was all said and done with I lost several thousand of dollars to. And to another only about a thousand dollars to. Some would say I am a fool to have given money. But here on the internet relationships are built up fast. And we get caught with our guards down. Well I gave the money freely, however with the economy the way it is, I have noticed that more people are using this site for their private pan handling purposes. Their is a boyfriend girlfriend team currently working it Spades now.
I suspect that there is not just one person but several. And I have found out that I am not alone. There have been several for my friends that have given money to several different people. In all the people that I have talked to it so far has amounted to over 50,000.00 in the last six months. Some of these people who have given money are widows on fixed income. They feel sorry for these people and their stories. One of the best stories was the one who had cancer, raped, son broke his leg, she broke her leg, then other, and all to one person in just two months. Amazing. I was able to go this persons home which was a shack in LA in a drug infested area. The son's leg was miraculously healed, the cancer went into remission. Oh my miracles do happen but like this?
What can we do as members who know of people scamming, how can we help others who are being scammed. I know we all are adults here, we all work hard for our money and many of us are coming to this site with a need for friendships, companionship and love. Can we get that and not have our good nature hearts be abused?
I just want to start this thread to bring awareness and maybe we can share some ideas of how we as members, owners of leagues and even guides help our each other so we can deal with this growing issue.
thanks
