(3,101 posts)It is too bad this happened. In the past I have always tried to check out the DUer in need to make sure it was someone I would want to help. This time I didn't. Most likely I would have given to someone else instead. But I take full responsibility for NOT checking this person out.
Being in need sometimes changes a person. I hope in this case it does and for the better. Maybe it will, maybe it won't but I can't expect Wishadoo to do anymore than try to keep scammers out- as it is done already. Let's face it, anytime we contribute to anything be it the Red Cross or the American Cancer Society or anywhere else, we have no idea who is getting the advantage of our money. We can bet that at some point a complete dick-head has received help from our donations to some cause.
Because OGR has always been responsive to questions I've had about this or that and she has always answered promptly it seems more appropriate to contact OGR by PM if someone is questionable. Perhaps something to that effect could be added to the "help a DUer" requests. Hopefully this incident won't change Wishadoo posts too much. Some "mistakes" are bound to happen in any thing that you do.
