1. The most common adage applies to affinity and equipment-related church scams — if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. 2. Never believe someone is who they say they are, or that their claims are true, without independent proof. 3. Never wire or donate cash unless you are 100% sure who the recipient is. 4. Always read the small print of any agreement you are signing. Discuss it with others — don’t rush. 5. Carefully check out the credentials of any organization you are dealing with, whether they’re investment firms or equipment suppliers. |
