Heavenletters

As I write this I am literally feeling sick. Though is some ways I suppose I should be thrilled that I figured this out before being taken for lots of money. Having said that I suppose this is also one of my life lessons that I sincerely need to learn. Believe it or not that lesson is to not be so nice and/or giving as some people are not as they seem. Which truly makes me cry. Why? Because I live my life looking at my brothers and sisters as good people -- I have the false belief that because I am an honest, loving perosn that others I come across are also honorable people.

This all started rather innocently, my nieces started a myspace page for me so that we could keep in touch easily. Well, other people that I do not know have sent e-mails asking to be on my friends list which I've accepted them to. I thought I'd gotten to know one fellow who gave me a believable sob story and needed money for him and his son to eat for the next month. Asked me if I could send him $210.00 via western union. In my gut it just didn't sit well. After doing some research I believe this man is part of a scam. Thankfully westen union sends an e-mail to you before completing the transaction and you must call their number to verify the transaction within 24hrs or they cancel it. I did not call to confirm the transaction.

My worry at this point is the man has my myspace info -- email to myspace and also has my cell number -- also knows that I live in MI....not sure if with this info he will be able to use that info for indentity fraud so I am going to cancel my cell phone and get a new number.

Guess I sort of felt like if I share this with someone I'd feel better -- joke -- as I don't feel much better. But also to remind people in this forum that even though we look to see the good in people some people just aren't good -- be careful.

I'm just hoping this happening doesn't change my view on the human race as a whole as at this very moment I'm not too thrilled with how some of our species treat others.

Peace,
Cailen
