Trust us with your money –
the profit will be great!
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
or you’ll be too late!
Money gone – to where?
Seller’s disappeared.
“Castle in the air”:
mirage-scam is feared.
Research whoever’s asking
that you give them cash.
Are they worth the risking?
Don’t do something rash!
Who is really trustworthy?
Is their backup sound?
Are they rather dodgy?
Criminals abound.
He who offers freely
peace, is faithful, just
and delivers fully:
none regret that trust.
[IP: Buyer’s regret]
‘You keep him in perfect peace him whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.’ Isaiah 26:3

How long it took till possibility of saying something untrue occurred, the beginning of mistrust. You illustrate the panic of being confronted by a possible scam really well

Very topical Rhiannon and it
Very topical Rhiannon and it's not only the older generations who are susceptible to such scams. The sophistication of these things is moving at such a rate of knots, nobody is immune, particularly if you have a gap in your life, leaving you more vulnerable, loneliness is an example. I think an infomative verse like this should be put up in public spaces, a warning poster for all to not let their guard down.

There are so many scammers out here.
Thanks for your poem to the point in this season we are living in many and I mean many now, days are being scammed on the internet. Peace.
