soften the message in the last paragraph in response to a couple of rude/abusive flags

| Feb 27, 2023 at 17:53 | comment | added | Graham | @gerrit From the OP's question, I truly don't believe that they understand this. They're actually asking whether the "commission fee" is a scam, and they clearly can't see that the $500 was the original scam. So yes, IMO it's necessary. We can answer a question for one specific scenario, but unless they can apply that lesson to the next time that scenario happens, we haven't really helped them. It sucks to have to say it, but I'd rather be unpopular than an enabler. | |
