Let's Bring Em Home!
Ran across this while browsing the net.
Let's Bring Em Home!
This guy is doing a great thing bringing junior enlisted home and I figure I'd spread the word a bit

I'm not saying it is,  but scam artists are known to do this... 
If you are serious about contributing, the first thing I'd suggest you'd do is contact your state's attorney general's office and ask them if this is legit. 
Last year, NBC covered a story about a sailor this guy arranged tickets for. I'd say its a very good chance it is legit.

Hey Trip,
I used to work (volunteer) for the Attorney General's Office of Consumer Affairs(WA State) . Some basic rules:
1) IF it seems to good to be true, it probably is
2) IF the seller says he can't wait a day, that he HAS to have the money now or the deals off - then cancel the deal.
3) If in doubt, ask for references and then check those references.
4) Call the BBB (Better Business Bureau) Attorney General's Office, Consumer Affairs, or any number of agencies to check it out.
5) IF a particular agency is running a scam, chances are some else has heard about it. Just check it out on the WWW.
Orangeman the Oracle.... :butt:

Hey man, F-Trip. He is just picking a fight. You are absolutely right and I myself appreciate the advice. Theses kinds of scams go on all of the time. They start by taking advantage of someone’s good will, knowing that most won’t take the time to learn the usage of their money, because most typically feel ungenerous if they were to scrutinize…It’s a terrible world we live in, and it takes effort now to be truly generous, despite popular belief!

The story jaeger refers to was broadcast local here in SWFlorida since it was a Naples guy.
I am sure Jaeger himself would have checked this b4 posting, and it was a kind thing to do, especially right after Veteran's Day.
Point being: lets fight!!
 
Ok, so by your standards, if it's posted on the Internet, by a "trusted" name, I should rest assured that he did all of the research required to ensure this isn't a scam...Naa, I'd rather just punch your lights out...
Also, I don't watch the news in your part of town. And isn't Naples a few hundred miles from where you are? Did you do the research, or are you just going to trust that the scammer didn't pull one over your local news. There are charities that have been fleeced, money given to fake entities bearing the same name. It happens every day…

No, not at all, by ANY means.
Have you gone to the website yet?
If not, do so and tell us what_ya think, b4 actually punching me.
PS
I can take one of ya's but not both at the same time:

Naples is local: 40miles away and we share the same tv stations, which I don't watch BTW.
The charities being fleeced: yes they do get the kind hearted...every day, too.
Sad world, indeed.
But, go to the website and tell us what Ya_Know thinks:
