Sad. Even though there is a large warning on every page, people seem to ignore it.

sad story. but honest people are very likely to fall for a check scam, in my opinion.
i admire the way they've reacted, using their experience to warn others.
maybe some good will come of it.

I doubt it somehow. Sad

They hadn't learned from the many warnings from previous victims telling their stories, had they?

well, i did say 'maybe' Wink

we can never know how many [if any] people see these stories and are warned in time to avoid being scammed.
unfortunately the scammers know that 'there is one born every minute'
