It was confusing because I had already communicated with "A" legitimately from her business.
Then an Allison emails me sending information........ For all I knew "A" stood for Allison It's very confusing here at first with all the initials.
Seeing it was a different email address from one "A" used to contact me, I forwarded the weird email to "A" and asked her if she sent it.
She was very excited when she immediately replied it was a scammer and to please let dbg know about it, lots of exclamation marks! LOL
She immediately speculated who it was but did not rumors to start w/o more info. Did want everyone here to take extra precautions.
We both felt it was a member or old member with current access to the site, they knew too many details and procedures.
I know we can't just go around giving info to everyone, we have to protect everyone but unless somewhere along the line someone trusts someone - how to understand the info as a newcomer?
I spent hours with very little progress - found sites but "A" and "R" wouldn't respond, like they were closed down or asleep.
Some of the other sites were good but then toward end of posts, people said they weren't good anymore
A kind-hearted person took a chance to give my info to "A", with my consent, and here I am. Genuine, grateful, and it took me a year to find the site, but I'm where I needed to be. Good thing I'm persistent. ( I did get ripped off once last fall by a site that once was good but then suddenly took everyone's $ and skipped town. That wasn't fun but it was VISA and I was given my money back with a big lesson learned - they had used my cc # to withdraw $1,000's from my bank account w/o authorization.
I was nervous Monday but "A" is great and by early Wed morning my work finally paid off. MG made me nervous but it went smoothly.
Now even tho a short time, I've learned "A" "R" and "D"
I am more thankful to the members and admin of this site forhelping to make my life bearable again than words can express.
I felt hope again today that I can regain some of my life and activities instead of suffering in a recliner, unable to enjoy much of anything. .
So, we tread a narrow path carefully - but for a worthwhile goal, in my case.
