Honesty and Integrity Online (2009-11-24)
Let me tell you what I just learned about honesty from my friend today, who has just been scammed on the Internet. I have to tell this story because it happens so often. Her name is JuLynne and I will let her tell this story in her own words.
“I wanted to find information on the Internet about obtaining a grant so that, at age 60 years old, I can go for a college degree. I went to a reputable site I thought, at http://www.nationalgrantsconference.com. I found a link on that site to click on for more information. That link too me off the site, so I should have been suspicious right there, and turned out to be a false link. I went ahead and filled out my email information and street address and then waited for information to come in the mail.
