Discerning those truly in need from those that are using the internet as a tool of robbery.
There are many people falling prey to online scammers from foreign countries.
These scammers tell a tragic sob story about how their families are starving
and all too often we fall all over ourselves with pity.
However there are is a question people like that bring to mind,
If their families are starving, why are they spending their money on the computer
rather than saving it for their families?
The way I see it, if they are capable of sustaining the money for the internet,
they are capable of getting real jobs rather than soliciting people online for money.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe in helping my fellow man (or woman),
as a matter of fact if we fail to do that, then we are failing in our job as citizens of humanity,
Which is to love and help one another.
I do believe however there are those that take advantage of our natural human compassion
and it is them we must be careful of.
Love your neighbor, help him when you can, but don’t let him take advantage of you.
Just a kind word of warning to my readers.
Take care and be blessed.

There is so much of it going on, it never hurts to get a friend to double check things for you if you do have doubts about anything.This is a good reminder for all internet users.

I am forever getting those that say I won the lottery or inherited money. First of all I don’t play the lottery, and second of all if I inherited, I am sure I would not be contacted online to let me know. We need to be very careful of what we open in our mail box. Thank you, Jupiter, for your warnings.
