Pay attention to the little things

Something I would like to share with our members is an incident that turned out to be a horrible situation for myself in a time of need.

As a parent there come times in life where you need to spend money on important things, and time goes by so quickly sometimes you forget to save up for them. Something that slipped my mind, being a busy working single mom, was the expense of my child’s Grade 1 deposit fee.

In order to raise money for this, I decided to sell my spare phone to someone on a Facebook group, but did not bother to check his profile to see if it was fake or not. Only after I had met the guy to do the transaction did I realise how silly I was by not making sure that both the person and environment were safe. Even though I was not alone and in a busy area, I was out of my comfort zone. Things went horribly wrong for me and he took off without paying for the phone.

I urge all members, with all the crime going on, not to make the same mistake by not paying attention to little things such as an odd Facebook profile. Also, listen to your “gut feeling’’. I had that instinctual feeling but chose to ignore it, to my loss.
