I know we are to trust in the Lord with everything and I honestly try to live that way, but I wonder how much we are supposed to do? Are we supposed to question those things that just seem to good to be true? Are we suppose to question those things that we know are scams?
I thought I had set up my email to download to another program, but that program very rarely gets anything. Today I got a message about there is mail in your spam folder. My first thought was what spam folder. So I just logged in and there were over 150 messages. I thought great, someone is contacting me about the site because maybe it touched them in some way, but that was not really the case.
Everyone of the emails was about some company that could improve my website or my revenue or my presence online. Everyone of them seems like a scam to get access to the account so they could take control and do who knows what. I ended up deleting everyone of the messages.
This site is not about making money. It does not cost that much to own, it was not complicated to setup, nor is it difficult to maintain, and finally it does not take that much of my time to come here and do what I think I am supposed to do.
Do I trust God? Absolutely, but did He put into me some skepticism so I would not get taken advantage of, or is that a learned trait from being burned one time.
I honestly think we are supposed to use the brain that God gave us. If we think something does not seem right, then the next step is to pray or act according to how you think God would want you to act. I could have replied to each person in a negative way, but instead I just chose to do nothing except delete the emails.
I am sure some of them are legit and they are just trying to earn a living and I wish them the best. Those that want to scam others, shame on you. If you would take that energy and do what is right, there isn’t anything you could not achieve. However, most people have been led down a path to quick riches to living the American dream.
All I am saying is that you already have instructions in a book format on how you are supposed to live. If you did not get that reference, the book is the Bible. In the Bible, God tells us how to live. Do the right thing and do not try to steal/scam others.
If you are one of the thousands of people that is trying to make a living off others by trying to steal from them, please reconsider. You know it is wrong, but like everything in life it is a choice. I just pray that you will choose wisely.
