Man this dude worked some people over.

I think you both are warm hearted and kind people and I have done the same thing back in the days when I spent hacking DTV cards.

I sent a guy a grand so he could buy Christmas presents for his kids. What bummed me out was that after he got it, he never even answered my emails and just disappeared. I didn't even want to be repaid...he jsut disappeared.

And, he was one of the biggest names in the smartcard hacking circles.

Makes you feel sick for a bit..then you get over it...but then in a few years, it makes you even sicker.

Trust me the worst has yet to hit. When you realize that some of these people actually MAKE THEIR LIVING LIKE THIS...OFTEN HAVING SEVERAL SCAMS RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME IN DIFFERENT BOARDS.

DO the math on his number of posts,,, and you will see it was indeed a full time job. And I assure you, they pick on places like this, religious chats and boards are PRIME TIME targets...anywhere there is a societal gathering that has a repressed environment is ripe grounds for their trade of taking from the generous.

But you live and learn and just you two remember that that everything you ever do will come back to either kiss you upon the lips or bite you right in the ass.

Acts of kindness like these will come back and bring blessings upon you...though you may never even know it.
