Through another group I belong to, I was contacted by a woman at maryrose@globaloil.com who supposedly wanted to help my family get past this hump. Unfortunately, it was just a huge lie, and the check she went to the expense of fed exing to us was written on a closed account. I can't express how hurt I am right now. What kind of person does that? Is it really worth the joke to get someone's hopes up only to yank the rug out of them like that? Why bother? Why do that? I thought that we would have presents under our pretty tree for my kids, but no - it was some elaborate hoax for someone to get their amusement. It was just a way for them to destroy hopes and dreams. I can't understand that cruelty, and I can't fathom someone that ...that...vile. I'm sitting here in tears. I want to curl into a ball, and just cry mysel to sleep. I don't even have the energy to be angry. I'm just crushed. Absolutely, totally, and completely crushed. Thanks to this woman things are even WORSE for us now than they were. Thank God I didn't spend money thinking her check would clear, and I waited for it to clear before counting on it or we would be even worse off than we currently are.
If this woman offers you help, ignore her! Simply delete the email, and ignore her. If you believe in her - she will hurt you even worse. It could have been catastrophic for us, but it was only tragic. I don't want to see anyone else hurt this way.
I...I just give up right now. I'm tired of hanging on to a fraying rope, praying and hoping, for nothing. I can't believe there are people that rotten in this world.
