I was reading about what you guys did for "weneedyounow.com" and i thought we could maybe have a thread where potential scams are investigated and if they are found to be legitimate people in need of help, you guys could give your seal of approval like you did with weneedyounow.com

I wouldnt have a clue how to go about investigating something like this, but there is a girl who uses the same web hosting company as me who claims to be seriously ill and in need of money for medical costs. She is from south africa. If she is telling the truth i would really like to help her. If not i think her site needs to be taken down.

Hard to know if the site belongs to Silindile Ntuli, as far as I'm concerned you should be sceptical about anyone on the internet asking for $$$.

This comes under the category 'More research needed'.

I guess we don't easily give seals of approval. How do we know it's legit, unless it's someone we personally know?

I don't believe that it should be - either it is legit, in which case a google search back to us won't matter, or it is fraudulent, in which case potential victims will see this thread.

I share Roy's thoughts about sites that ask for money.
