It was a recent episode of exactly that which prompted me to post the warnings I posted. And even then only after years of considering doing so.</p><p><br /></p><p>What Doug said is the key - there is little risk in doing business with people you know and trust. And no you don&#039;t have to have met people face to get to know and trust them. But just because somebody has posted on the forum for a while that doesn&#039;t mean that you know them, nor does it mean you should trust them. Getting to know and trust somebody, well there&#039;s more to it than that. And I think all of you know that, you deal with it every day in your lives. From among all the people around you there are those you would trust and there are those you just wouldn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>It works the same way here. There are plenty of members on this forum that I would trust and do business with them, there&#039;s quite few that I have done business with. But it&#039;s not them that you have to worry about, and it&#039;s not them that those warnings apply to. </p><p><br /></p><p>If and if you don&#039;t know them but want to do business with another member, there&#039;s a pretty simple solution - all you have to do is ask ! Simply post your question and ask the forum membership for references. And you&#039;ll either get them or you won&#039;t. But I would only pay attention to references from people you already do know and trust. And I say that because there are bad people on this forum - they do exist. And they will rip you off if given the chance.</p><p><br /></p><p>But remember this - no one, absolutely no one, can ever take advantage of you unless you allow them to do so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
