Well, for the most part, I've tried to be decent about it as much as possible. But, as I said in my last post in this thread, I've pointed out several times that Western Union DOES have information on their site about scams, even if it's not in the biggest, boldest, flashing letters.
I'm not trying to be an a$$ about it, but when people apparently gloss over what they don't want to admit so they can go on bitching about it, it gets a little annoying and makes me feel like I'm wasting my time here.
That being said, I do want to apologize for having come across as beligerant. It just annoys me, as I've already said, when people gloss over the things that are shown to them. I'm more than willing to help, and I've made several offers to help identify scams, etc. Noone has taken me up on that so far, and that's perfectly fine. Your prerogative, or maybe you just haven't seen any lately.
Either way, having pointed out that several sites DO have scam information available, I'm hoping that people will take that into consideration. There is, as has been said many times, only so much any one person, group or company can do to slow the tide. Baiters do what they can, hopefully wasting as much of the scammers time and money as possible. Scam victims are easily capable of talking to people and explaining what happened to them. Businesses can help by offering information. But, even if we all were to perform at our highest capacity, there would still be people that are so trusting, so naive, so willing, so gullible, so... whatever, that even with warnings pasted in front of their face, they'll still fall for the scam.
