Don't tell anyone, it's a big secret...

Don't worry, I can keep a secret! MUHAHAHAHA, now, what to do with this new found power!? Ah ferget it, I think I'll just go home get drunk and watch the sci fi channel.

[StarCMC]

DAmn. It's wierd -- as I said to MoJo on the phone this morning...do you hope he's telling the truth and his wife really dies or do you hope he's lying?

Don't know if you've seen this yet or not MoJo....

[MizSterious]

Wow, there's a couple of blasts from the past! LOL!

[Fawnn]

I prefer not to be as cynical as you.

I'm a real person here, as are others.

The secret is not to let the occasional bad apple remain in the barrel.

that we don't become hard and cold to the next prayer request that comes across.

Well, how can you not begin to doubt, especially when the poster is new?

I wish there were some way to run new posters through a filter of their profile, to determine, right away, if they've been banned previously.

[I Am Not A Mod]

Nothing to see here. Move on.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

That was the thread where I started to become suspicious. When I got pinged to the one about his "wife", I really thought something was up. He was either a fraud, or one seriously unlucky person.

[StarCMC]

Actually, I believe MoJo DID get a box from him.

[Old Sarge]

You mean, like you?

[wardaddy]

How odd...clinically odd actually. I feel sorry for whomever this individual is....must not have much of a life off the keyboard.

Great work!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Well, since I wrote it, I will go ahead and post my freepmail to you that was in reply to your post to me above:

that wasnt directed to you, dont take it personally. its the people on the forum who are so stinking gullible.

And to answer your question: Nope, I am not a troll, and not in on this scam or any other, ever.

I suspect "Happy" will never reply to my question. Nice of you to defend "bogdan", even after he is exposed.

[MizSterious]

Hey, it doesn't cost anyone a thing--just a few moments--to pray for someone. I don't mind, even if they're frauds. Could be that people who are so morally deficient need prayers, too.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I'm not here. I'm in the backyard, honest. Uh huh.

Well, how can you not begin to doubt, especially when the poster is new?

In an earthly sense, we will be cynical as heck. In a Godly sense...as others have stated, GOD KNOWS. God knows if it's a scam, but more importantly, He knows YOUR HEART!!

[DoctorMichael]

"....Pollyanna...."

I know what you mean in your Post.

I too will continue to believe the best in my fellow man (until proven otherwise, of course).

[StarCMC]

I stand corrected on the package....hugs!

[Old Sarge]

All I know is, there's a bunch of DU'er's out there right now, along with a bunch of self-righteous know-it-all paleo-Freepers right here and now, having a real hearty laugh at our expense, over how good-hearted people can always get scammed over compassion.

I intend to take steps to insure it never happens again.

[Tijeras_Slim]

There's plenty of folks here that would vouch for you in a heartbeat.

As far as being taken in by this guy, what harm is there to err on the side of compassion?

[StarCMC]

Hey Pollyanna -- I love you! LOL!!! I'm a little bit that way too!!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Don't FReepmail me again. Ever.

Or what? Ya going to punch your monitor? Maybe you can call CGEB or SnowBunny and tell them how you got embarrassed on a forum because you were fooled.

[MoJo2001]

Nada Star! John and others at the Command checked it out to make sure. It wasn't from him, but a family member of a Freeper. There was an actual note in it. (It helps to check the entire box for tidbit information that might help.)

Anyways, that matter has been cleared up. However, I'm glad this was found out now because I would have felt even worse because John was going to see about getting him a card from the guys and gals in his Shop. That would have just set me off.
