Something Is Seriously Wrong with Me
It’s been a painful time-consuming process to come to a realization: there’s no legitimate possibilities for me to make a decent income and be able to cope with increasing bills. Don’t get me wrong, money for me had never been a fetish or an obsession. As long as I meet my obligations and don’t fall behind with covering my debts, I am content and enjoy my life to fullest whether I have millions of dollars in my bank account or not.

Gift
No other book has had so much effect on me like The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov. And I’ve read many, like most of Russians do. In the beginning of 80s I was lucky to borrow a copy of Khudozhestvennaya Literatura magazine dated 1973 where a full complete uncut version of the book had been published, a surprising oversight by government. There I was, in my early 20s, born and raised in Soviet Union, gone through all the pre coordinated by government stages of a proper soviet child. Patriotism, obedience, and loyalty to the state where the Communist Party had absolute power over everything, were inflicted at each stage, from kindergarten to university.

Once Upon a Scam
Times and times again an online romance scammer finds yet another victim. It would be a lonely woman. Older or younger, the age isn’t always the major factor. Although, it’s true, the older ladies are easier to be lied to or get their minds to be fogged with sweet messages.

If it looks too good to be true – it probably is - Part II
No matter how much information is available online, how many warnings are posted by numerous organizations on countless sites, scammers keep working. They never quit. Why? Because there are uninformed people out still. Those who mindlessly believe the generous advertised promises and consider themselves lucky to come across such sweet deal. Those who don’t do diligent search and don’t exercise some critical thinking. Those become victims of scammers.

If it looks too good to be true – it probably isTop Story - August 2022
We all live in trying times. Epidemic hit hard the world’s economy and everyone personally. Inflation, volatile energy prices, supply chain disruptions, rising interest rates…There were numerous surveys conducted and predictions made on what could we expect in the nearest future: would it become better? Or worse? But a prognosis is not something that is carved in stone or a definite plan to act upon.

Romance Scam:
Should we talk about the online romance scammers or catfish, another name for online fraudsters? We should, we must… We must talk about it, even if those who had lived through it and experienced unbearable pain from finding out that their true newly found love turned out to be a fraud, would not speak up. They consider the fact of being scammed as their own fault, ashamed to admit they were scammed. They are afraid they would be ridiculed and pointed fingers at.
