Do we know about this?
It looks extremely suspicious to me. It's much easier to simply donate money to a chosen charity than to go through all this palaver!

I've got no idea who this person is.  I did post the message in here, so people could see what she said, but I've been told to remove it, so I've taken it out. Sorry, I didn't mean any harm.

    cHi Estelle

    You should never receive anything like this here.  It is blatant solicitation.  Just call it to the attention of the administrator and move on.  this is a board for mutual support of cancer patients, and their care givers.  Most of this is screened out, but the filters are not perfect. 

    best to you

    Hi Estelle_H,

     

    I would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience – sarahsarah44 is indeed a scammer. While we do have securities in place, we are not always able to catch all spam, and we are trying to figure out how this one got around our system.  sarahsarah44, needless to say,  has been blocked.

    The CSN website is a great source of online support for patients and caregivers, and I hope that this experience has not discouraged you. Thank you for reporting this, and we certainly encourage you to continue to do so if you see any questionable activity.

     

    Best Regards,

    Kim
