Just want to let you all know there are many scams out there, on the net and phone scams If they are not on your e mail list or anything don't know about you Please do not answer it, Don't give out any personal info such as account # or anything about you It may sound so real but it is not , There are co's , ects that say they are real but not . Many people with mental illness get taken for a ride .Please beware and check things out before anything if they don't have a mailing address or a real phone # chances are good this fake, I know someone who has a mental illness and thought it was real in turn they some how got cerent numbers and cleaned them out and had to changed everything now they are fighting to recover what was taken from them
If you are warey check things out before anything Please don't let this happen to you. I just want everyone who has a mental illness to be cautions of things out there . __________________

I hope you're well. Good seeing you!  What a thoughtful thing to post, and we should all, unfortunately be careful to the point of suspicion with certain things. Great reminder and thanks! KD __________________

Thank you Doc John and Kimmy for letting posts this . I just want people to know there are things out there to watch fore. Just to let you all know that a friend of mine who got his account cleaned ,He is getting everything refuned. It was pretty easy but in some cases it made not be so easy. I don't get on here as much as I like too . If I find anything else that those who have mental illness to beware of I'll let you all know.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I'm glad he's able to get things refunded. Thanks for letting us know about this!

I know how stressful ID theft can be.....I have delt with it now 2 times within the last 3 years....once with the home care person when my Mother was dying of cancer 3 years ago & then on my trip to California just after Thanksgiving & they broke into my truck to cover up the theft of the information when I checked into the motel. Sadly, the police don't do anything about this.....even when they have all the leads given to them. I was told it's "only a white collar crime" & we don't do anything about it.
No wonder it is so wide spread out there.....if they don't make the people feel they can get caught for doing the crime, they are giving them a wide open invitation to do it. For me, this is a very personal issue & it's good that you bring it up so that others are aware of what is going on. When I read your initial post....I figured you had just had an experience with it (or someone close to you). It leaves one with a horrible vunerable feeling even when we get everything refunded.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
