Scam ALERT .... and an Update on my Mom

[JLC]

Some of you may remember that the same day Kisasa arrived, back in March...I recieved a call from my Mom telling me she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer. Well...the good news first!

She has just finished up 7 weeks of daily radiation treatments and is all done with all treatments, except for those regular check-ups all cancer patients have to go through. She's feeling surprisingly good...much much better than she thought she'd be by the end of treatment. Some specific genetic tests they ran show that she has a very low likelihood of recurrance!

But there was a completely unexpected "bump" in the road of her treatment. For a couple of weeks about half-way through, she was feeling very icky and despressed. (No surprise, given what she was going through at the time!) She got a phone call from a business called "Bright Builders".....and because they were "very sweet and attentive".....she got suckered into what they were selling.

What they were selling was a "Get Rich on Ebay" scam. All in all, my Mom is out $7000 because a bunch of :cens0r: took advantage of her when she was sick.

Anyhow...if you ever wonder if any of those "Get Rich selling on Ebay" businesses are legit...they're not. They don't have any information to give you that you can't find for FREE on Ebay itself. And if you ever run across a business called "Bright Builders"....run away.....fast.

My brother is currently working to see if he can get any or all of Mom's money back. He's very smart and knows how to throw his weight around when he needs to....so I'm hoping he can pull it off.

Just wanted to share....thanks for letting me get that off my chest....and most especially, thanks for all the prayers and concern about my Mom back in March!!

Grr I hate scammers.. hopefully your brother will be able to catch them on it!

I third or fourth the karma thing, what goes around comes around! Scammers always get theirs in the end.

And that's awesome about your Mom's health!! I know those treatments aren't easy, Karen's mom and my grandma both went through it. It's always such a huge relief when you get great results like that!
