I got the exact same email today!!! She also texted me asking me the same questions, do I owe on any utilities and do I have any credit cards with money owed. I responded yes to both, then she asked how much I owed to credit cards and what the balance was. She said one of the donors wanted to give me $700 to help out. Of course I said great! Then she asked who I banked with, I immediately questioned that...she said she needed to check with the bank to ensure they could accept a transfer. RED FLAG! I told her I was very cautious about giving that info out. I asked her how she got my number. No response. Glad I didnt go any further. copy of email follows: ____________________________ FINANCIAL HELP Cynthia Goldsmith <cindy_goldsmith@hotmail.com> Reply| To: *******@hotmail.com; Mon 10/26/2015 8:41 AM This message was moved here because you only trust email from senders in your Safe Senders list.

Just wanted you to know she tried the same scam with a friend of mine. He is down on his luck. Cynthia Goldsmith, and friends, offered to help him. One name which was sent was Terry Lambert. I've asked for all his email's,I don't have them yet, as I may have them for proof at a later date. I know someone may need them. This is as scam. I think they are trying to deposit bad checks into accounts and draw on them leaving the person in need to answer to law. I will absolutely try and hinder these, or person, from further damaging others. Hope they were unable to do so to you. Thank you for your post. M
scam i think Cynthia Goldsmith Aug 12 (2 days ago) to me Hello Wendy I am really sorry about your present situation. As a matter of fact, I am telling you right now that I was able to talk to some few donors and as I write to you one has agreed to help you with $700 today, if you have a valid personal bank account to receive the funds. She said if you are ready she can inform her bank branch manager to make the transfer to you on her behalf to you. Also, she said I should ask you if you have a maxed out credit card which presently owed money on it. I will wait to read from you and also am waiting for the response of the remaining donors I have discuss with already.

My husband stopped working 5 years ago to return to school and change his career to become a physical therapy assistant. He passed school with a 3.66gpa! But he must pass the state test before he can work. The first time scheduled on Oct 8 we had to reschedule because he fell and broke 3 ribs. In Jan 15 he failed by under 20 points and we psid agsin for another try and he fsiled in July by 7 points got a 593 and needed a 600. I thought wed be ok once he passed and got a job but since Oct last year I havent been able to pay some bills and my credit has dropped to 550, I cant get any loan, he cant get a job because hes either over or under qualified or they see he hasnt worked in years.He has to get this liscence to work, cant even work as an aide without it. We have zero to help reschedule for October this year. We need 90 to register for the state, 400 for the test 75 for the testing facility and 100 for the liscence plus the cost of ordering the new PEAT practice tests to help him study some more. Total of about 900.00 USD. We have paid this 2x already plus tons of extra money for study material and I just dont have anymore.....I only have negative in everything including will. I have faith that he will pass and I have prayed and begged God to please not hurt him again. I have done all I can and I am asking for help for both of our sakes.
