The thing is that we are a community here, and we need to watch out for each other.
It is anything but kind to protect one person based on personal feelings and subject so many others to – well – theft.
I am flabberghasted at how busy he has been, and how he managed to make each person who helped him feel very special and still very protective about him.
These are the marks of a con artist and not those of a confused kid.
I know it’s hard to admit one has been conned – not so much because of the lost money or the failure to detect the con, but because the con worked because it elicited feelings for the conman. To admit that those feelings were misplaced, that is the hard part.
I understand that (yes, I have been there, not this time though) and I am sympathetic all along the line.
Bottomline: Together we stand strong, divided we can be taken. Doesn’t just apply to the aff programs, it applies to everything.
