Good on you for making the community aware Stella!
Unfortunately, there are people out there who are wlling to take advantage of any generous spirit they can get their claws into. Hopefully this post will help at least one person not be taken for a ride on this.
I can't even fathom asking people for money here. Upvotes are all the generousness I could ever ask for. Unless of course I am doing legitimate work (like I do for @curie). I guess that is part of the mentality that there are people out there who need it far worse than I do. I dunno. I don't give lightly, but I will give to a cause I believe in. I suppose that karma will come back to me should I be in a place of extreme need somewhere in the future.
That's really all the generosity I can ask for.
Shame on this guy for trying to take advantage!
