Unfortunately, some people do take advantange of these amazing qualities to feed their selfish schemes. Thanks for sharing this stuggle.

The house was beautiful everything you could want and you ask very kindly about renting the home and you are sent a message about how they are missionaries in Africa, Kenya and a few other places the story is always the same” we had to take this opportunity to be missionaries and we need a good tenant such as yourself to take care of our lovely home if you send the deposit we will send you the key”.. <br />I have some kind of built in scam alert as well (I wonder where that came from) and knew it was just that a scam and sure enough it has been in the local news and I have seen special reports regarding this issue. There are internet cafes all over the world and these individuals “go to work” every day working and managing different scam to separate you (us) from our money. I am sorry that you experienced that... I am glad that Tim knew not to let this person (from the reports probably a man) take advantage of you... I love you tons.<br />AmyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924611516811143629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149773423105421214.post-73453536247222399242010-11-10T14:03:16.930-08:002010-11-10T14:03:16.930-08:00You did the right thing.

If it continues to nag at your conscience, maybe an equivalent donation to a reputable charity could help? I know a few people who have worked in schools in Africa - I could ask them for recommendations if you want.Ryan O'Donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08135434821484374209noreply@blogger.com
