What you say may be true. But it doesn't justify posting the same thing over. And over. And over. And over.

I would suspect that most people who donated were already aware that it might be a scam, and were willing to take that chance. Posting something obvious and well-known, as though it were some rare and esoteric gem of knowledge, is just tiresome.

Most people already know there are risks involved in any donation. They are willing to take the chance, if the cause is worthy. Constantly re-posting what most of them already know adds nothing.

What I see in this is that people ... even when they know what they are supposed to do to avoid scams and frauds ... they simply ignore it all, when they get “invested” and “wrapped up” in a personal cause. The problem is ... “THAT” is the MOST DANGEROUS TIME for people to get scammed, and scammers know this. When you “get personal” with something and when you bring out a “visceral reaction” that is the PERFECT TIME for scammers. They love it!

How people can AVOID being “carried away” with themselves in these “visceral moments” is to have a “methodology” in place that makes it impossible to get scammed, and that was precisely the “methodology” that I was posting.

Yeah, we got it the first time. There was no need to keep posting it again and again and again.
