Re: Trust
There are certain people on here who I would trust even though I have never met them and a few I definitely would not. What we should all remember is that any genuine person on a forum would not be asking for financial help or be willing to accept it if it was offered.I also agree with Mesco that one sure way to attract fraudsters is to boast about your wealth. Apart from making one's self a target, it's also not pretty.

Much the same as me. I couldn't care less who is truthful and who is a complete fantasist. It's a forum.
....this has been going in since I joined over50.

I would never in a million years, think of asking anyone for money on a forum or in real life. It is just unthinkable. Nor would I ever fall for a scam.

I'm not impressed by her snooty, uppity persona, but she certainly is interesting. I'll give her that.

Re: Trust
I've not been around here long enough to suspect anyone of lying or stretching the truth but I sure wish I knew who everyone is thinking it is LOL.I have in my younger years been a little too trusting, I learned the hard way and it is only as I got bitten that I no longer trust people as easily as I used to. I'm not sure I would give someone money who I didn't know if they had a sob story but I think it would pull on my heartstrings just in case it was true. I've never been in that position though so I don't know if I can comment really
Sorry you got burned Tara
