Scammers are everywhere and they are all SCUM. See my post: https://medium.com/mind-talk/beware-of-scammers-234479e59d0a

Good for you for not getting sucked in. A big rule is, Fact check, back check and research. I had coffee with a friend yesterday and we talked about how some scams seem so innocuous. asking for just $5 say. BUT, $5 X 5000 suckers is $25,000. a nice payday. Don't trust anything on any internet site, even if its from your beloved granny. FACT CHECK EVERYTHING!
