    This is a wonderful site
    This is a wonderful site Lety. You just have to remember like everyone said that it is still the world wide web and anyone can be on it, not just real bc survivors. The bad ones are a small percentage. Just be cautious, but, still use the site as there is so much here for you in help and support!

    Shhhhhh.........
    I used my own judgement and didn't tell my "Police Sargent Detective" hubby (even worse! He looks for clues! LOL). But he did say that the friends I have been talking to all year, I could probably use my own judgement and be fine.
    But I did spill the beans that I gave my address to chenhart and so if he came home from work and found me murdered, kidnapped, or scammed, his first clue should be to look for a 50ft women leaving town.....what do you think he meant when he said I would look good in a new white coat?

    being 50' has its disadvantages...sigh!
    You are actually safe with me, Pammy~ I am so not able to sneak in or out ANYWHERE without drawing attention to myself! Well, there was that one summer when I hung out with a group of hot guys on stilts, but that's a summer of stories for a different site! HAHAHAHAHA!

    Hugs,

    Thank you for posting this
    Thank you for posting this Lex. It is something that we all need to know.

    I saw that spammer the other day on here. Thanks to you Greta for removing them so quickly.

    Lex, thanks for warning all
    Lex, thanks for warning all of us. I know there are bad people on the internet. You just hate to think that some might be here, but, there are. And, thank you Greta for deleting the newest spammer that was on. I hate that.

    I think everyone needs to
    I think everyone needs to really understand what could happen. It is against the terms and conditions to solicit on here, even information. So, if someone is on here, like there is or was today, saying to email them for study material or whatever, it could be a bad scam. You could send them your email addy and they send you a virus. I hope I explained that right lol

    Would it be possible for someone to warn the rest of us whenever you see a scammer here, like posting their name or something? I'm fairly new and tend to read as many of the posts as I can. I wasn't on today and just came on this pm. I guess the threat is over for now and their post has been removed. Thanks again for letting us know when this is happening.

    I have been a member of csn
    I have been a member of csn since last April. There was two fakes that I know of and they were removed from the site. It's hard to believe that someone would fake having Cancer, but there out there. You will figure it out when you are being coned. It does not take to long before they say something that will have you questioning there honesty.

    Usually the post is flagged
    Usually the post is flagged Sunrae by someone that has seen the fakes before. The post today had been flagged. We normally don't put their name out there, rather flag the post. Just realize that if they say they are here for data or w/e and want you to email them, that it #1 against the policy here and #2 could be up to no good, as in sending you a virus or stealing your personal data. Just use caution. What Lex wrote was perfect.

    I know Maize. I wouldn't
    I know Maize. I wouldn't have believed it either, but, I have seen it on here, just as recently as yesterday. Someone was on here saying they were in a study and wanted info from bc survivors so please email them. I even saw a couple the other day that offered to pay money in their post if you emailed them and participated. We are not saying that these aren't legitimate, but, I am about 100% sure that they aren't. If they are flagged, which shows at the bottom right of that person's post, just ignore it. Like Maize says, all that glitters is not gold.

    Thanks Sunrae! I saw the posting and flagged it for Greta to remove. Yes, it is wrong. If you noticed, he just joined the site as of today and was already trying to sell something. Big Red Flag!

    Lynda, not you
    Lynda, don't worry. I think if you see from the postings, that it is usually a newbie on here, with only 1 post or very, very few. They usually just hit and run. Your postings of the addresses have been welcomed and helpful to all of us.

    Sunrae, that post has been flagged, meaning Greta will look it over and I am sure remove it. Thanks for the alert!

    On Expressions I saw the post had been flagged, but the same man posted another post called Keep Smiling with just his picture. Should it be flagged too. Maybe Greta will look it over too.

    Flagged
    I saw it Sunrae and it is flagged. I also sent an email to CSN to delete them.

    There are a few new ones on this week too that are posting links for you to click on.

    Don't click on them as you don't know what they might be. Flag them for Greta if you see them.

    His three posts were flagged and removed by Greta. Thanks Sunrae for letting everyone know. There have been several on this week already. I guess the holidays bring them out of the woodwork.
