Thank you, Mr. Jeff for sharing that advice!! I was shamed back in 2022!! I learned my lesson!! Don't trust social media!!

[@SeniorLivingOrg]

You are so welcome. I'm sorry it was such an expensive lesson.

I can't believe that people fall for these scams. I don't friend anyone online who I don't know in person. I would never give money to anyone that I haven't met in person and have a relationship with.

Sadly, many people do fall for these. Lonely people are quite vulnerable.

I gave up back in 2000, before social media got started good. Glad I did.
