Are there any true crime fans out there? Please give me any suggestions of what you want to see in this blog.

This is about true crime, so I want to tell you a story about myself. I just got charged with fraud last Wednesday. I'll tell you how this occurred, but I'm innocent. All the Internet users out there, BEWARE! There are people emailing you & claiming they have a business in a third world country selling pharmeceuticals, batiks, cloth, candles & the sort. They are asking for people to be third parties in payment processing. A person will send you a cheque for a huge amount with no return address. They want you to cash it & they'll give you 10% of the total. After you have cashed it, they give you Western Union information to send the rest of the money. When you try to cash this cheque, it turns out to be fraudulent.
This has happened to me twice. The first time, the bank teller told me I was a victim of fraud, but the second time, I should've known. I wasn't so lucky! There is no lottery to be won here, just a criminal record. If someone e-mails you asking you to do this, and you receive a cheque, make sure you save all the emails and don't cash the cheque! Turn it over to the police. Here's a website that will help you in catching fraudulent check users. www.ckfraud.org

Hi all true crime fans! It's September & a lot of us are attending school. I know I am! I just started my course, 'Applied Business Technology' last Tuesday & right now as I am typing, I'm in 'Spreadsheets'. It's an intense course, but I think I will survive. I had so much homework the past week that I haven't written a post yet. Now here I am, correcting my work as I type.

School has started & some parents have children who are experiencing bullying. It probably isn't now, but it will be an issue in the future. Everybody knows about Columbine School. That was a tragedy. Ever since that happened, teachers & everybody else who would listen has been brainstorming together on how to stop bullying. Right now, as I am typing, a tragedy is happening in Montreal, Quebec. God, help us all!

I hope the best for all people who befall a tragedy so deep. I would like to tell you if you do have a son or daughter who is experiencing bullying, to get help now, never later! It will turn out good in the end.
