  • 3 Tips for Buying Online

    We had a few people get scammed by a person using Yuri Sincero’s information. The reason they were scammed is because they did not follow these three tips:

    1. Verify before you buy – double check the identity of the person you buy from.  DO NOT trust the image of someones ID.

    2. Use Third Party Payment System – ebay, amazon, paypal are ways to reduce your risk, because these services verify the identity of the person.

    3. No Cash Online – Do NOT send cash online.  They safest way to buy online is to use a separate bank account via a third party payment system.

    “The Obama campaign says “out of an abundance of caution” all of these donations are in the process of being returned.

    Obama spokesperson Bill Burton sent CBS News the following email statement, “We constantly review our donors for any issues and while no organization is completely protected from internet fraud, we will continue to review our fundraising procedures to ensure that we are taking every available step to root-out improper contributions.”

    And this is somehow proof of some nefarious plot, according to the right wingers who can’t debate on issues? The next 30 days are going to be interminable…
