Please do not give people money on these forums. Oldtimers remember the scam we had...

Sorry this woman has 4 children and I am sorry for her story - we all have one!  She has infertility troubles and wants us to pay for a surrogate or whatever.  I'd like simply one child and can't afford it (well more not a completely great  cir****tance - I won't take your money but I will take your prayers and good wishes).  Should you all send me money?  There is something so wrong with this - to ask even!  Four children and some of us can't even have one - WTH!!!

Solicitation is wrong even when we have a sob story.

Sorry, this is upsetting.

I see the post is gone already.

It still amazes me how some can do this and get away with it.

I agree with you! Don't give anyone money! Especially if its there first time posting on a board!

Even if they've been posting for quite some time, that doesn't mean they're not scamming. OH members have been taken for a LOT by scammers who posted on the forums for more than a year and never "asked" for money, but just tugged on people's heartstrings just right by planting seeds within her posts...
