This actually tickled me. First, you have to be incredibly stupid to EVER invest your money

with an acquaintance from Facebook. In addition, what if you really do have people who request

you as a friend, and you really just do not remember them? Hell, this happens to me all the

time…Grant it, I used to drink a lot. LOL! Whatever the case, I am not going to refrain from

accepting requests out of fear of being sucked in by an affinity fraud. I do have compassion for

victims who may have been targeted at their church. In fact, my aunt, who is active in her

church, actually was sucked in to one of these scams. I do not remember how much money she

paid for the gold coins she purchased that promised a return, but I do know that she never got her

coins or money. I believe it was a pyramid scheme. My aunt is 78 years old. Growing up in a

different era, and having never really dealt with persons possessing "bad characters", she along

with her fellow church members were PERFECT targets for affinity fraud. Who are the people

who think of this shit? If clever criminals of this nature would focus their energy/attentions on

legitimate sources of income, they may actually be successful without hurting people in the

process. F*****G HUMAN!@%?!?
