Correct. As long as someone's not compromising our community, I'm good.

I was kidding guys lol. Job well done Steven - too bad you have to expose people as frauds but I'm glad you do.

Weren't some of our members actually sending this person postcards/mail/etc using their real identity?
I thought people had talked on the phone with him/her too?

So who is this person IRL?
Some AB nut or some AB that's bored or some SCI that is bored or...

Andes has offered to call people on the phone, so I believe the person portraying Andes is the culprit. I speculate that she's an assistant to a bankruptcy attorney or trustee in or around Butte, MT based on all of the evidence.

Wow. If that's not damning, I don't know what is.

Those points you bolded were the exact things that raised eyebrows with me, chick and other CareCure members about MarkPals, Andes, et al.

This is what's so insidious about these scams. People get emotionally involved and then feel used. One CC member posted in a thread about Mark being in the hospital that they were worried to tears. And "Brian" has the gall to claim they never meant harm with what they posted. This faker obviously needs professional help, but that does not excuse the wrongs perpetuated with their game, in my opinion.

No one here should feel bad about offering support to this faker, nor should they feel it negatively reflects on them personally at all for believing the ruse.
