Be at peace - I am not in trouble. I'm doing this to prevent others from getting into trouble. These are stories from years ago. Many, many years ago now.

What you can do to help is pass the story/link on to others. Preferably not on April Fool's Day :D [Ah, bad timing has ever been my friend]

This is part of a series. Scams I have survived [with or without my back up about the ordeal] to help others watch out for the red flags and nope out of there before they wind up in a debt pit.
