It's actually a very good reminder from you and its being engraved in my mind now :
"Just make sure that you not only NOT lose money/get taken advantage of, but more importantly, make sure you do NOT get involved/be inadvertently snared in scams that some pulls on your other friend(s), using your name/reputation etc."

I had to think twice before posting the following reply to you as I’ve had a lot of grief in the past for “exposing” the practices of the scammers and undeclared agents etc. I was also quite reluctant to write this as it IS quite a task to do so…. but, seeing as you have more than done your part in keeping this thread so informative by writing up such detailed reports, I guess you’ve ”guilted” me into doing my part!
And since I got nothing to be ashamed of on my stance, I’ve decided to just reply to your question here; hopefully others here could benefit from the information below because as far as scams are concerned, I think I probably am only going to be skimming the surface
Also, please do note that there ARE many good guys and for sure I have made acquaintance of many a fine gentleman when out mongering; what I write is just to safeguard us from falling prey to the vultures that unfortunately also does pollute our midst - certainly does NOT apply/reflect upon most other just plain good/helpful mongering guys.
