Sometimes I get the feeling some people have sawdust instead of brainmass.
I increasingly realize that as I see cases like the one I read today.

And this case is something I consider worth giving a read and perhaps a contribution, because even if it won't stop cases like this from happenning, it'll help someone and that should be enough to leave someone satisfied with their actions.
So please, give some attention to this; it deserves it.
It's cases like this that give me the feeling that something just isn't right in our society nowadays. And the crisis isn't helping; at all.

So, yeah, be a bit solidary with this question. If you can, of course. This was quoted from my Journal on DA, and the person in question is a friend; although this isn't a matter of how we know each other, it's a matter of what help is needed here.
In case you can help them finnacially, it's good, if you can only spread the word, it's good too. It's the least I'd request if it's possible.
Here's a quote from the journal on the link:
I need to get this of my chest... You might or might not know him, but I got a boyfriend,action9000.deviantart.com/, who lives 6000km away from me. This story is about him, and his recent terrible events.
Back in January 2010 he met up with some guy in his work who claimed to be a regular costumer, Action9000's coworker confirmed this. The man wanted to borrow $100. This was alright since the store often borrows to regular costumers.
However, after having signed the paper, it turned out that he man wanted to borrow $100 from Action900 rather than the store. Tim didn't mind losing $100 too much, so he went along with it.
Next day the man pays him back for $200 + $500 as a big thank you. He explained that he needs the money because he is in a divorce right now.
The man offers Action9000 a job, with better wages and it wouldn't be a night job, as he has now. This sounded very good of course.
Therefore they stayed in contact, but the next day the man needed money again, and he had lost his wallet. So Tim get $1000 from him, in checks, and removes this from his bank account so that the man has actual money to live with.
Well you can see where this is going. If I had any idea that paying with checks in America was unsafe I could have helped action9000.
This continued for 3 nights, resulting in action9000 having lost more than all his money. This is about $7000. The checks never went through and action9000 noticed that at the very last moment. He is in the reds now.
The worst is, the man is still talking to him. The man is still offering him the job and tells him that he will give the money back, giving action9000 fake hope over and over again... Just trying to get his money back, he probably lost most of it already by driving around to get it.
Making a fresh start isn't too bad, but the thing is that we wanted to meet up for the summer... This doesn't seem likely to happen and we probably won't be able to see each other for 1.5 years then.
I.. I do not want to beg for your help, but I do want to help action9000. Therefore I will be doing commissions for a small price. I will try my best to make the art look as good as some of it in my gallery can be. Though if you are kind enough to give a donation, you can send a paypal donation to: action9000@hotmail.com
