HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT THIS BLACK LIST?

By Elena Garrett (Owner and Operations Manager of RD)

It takes a great deal of time and dedication on my part to maintain the black list that we have here and to provide you with all the free services that we offer on this web site. I spend several hours of my personal time per day reading and publishing all the scammer reports that you send here, corresponding with the authors of those reports, answering endless scammer evaluation requests, talking on the phone with people who are interested in my opinion on their situation, and explaining over and over and over again how the scam works. All of that is on top of my usual work load with my actual clients. An 11 or 12 hours work day is nothing unusual for me.

I do not mind doing all of that. The free services I provide are designed to help you to avoid loosing hundreds or even thousands of dollars - all at no cost to you whatsoever. I do it voluntarily, I do not get paid for doing that in any way or form. I do not receive a salary from Russian Detective - whatever commission I make on the investigation, I take home to pay my bills.

Therefore I do not mind you showing your appreciation in any way - writing a letter with a few kind words in it, directing other people to our site, using one of our paid services that we offer on this web site, or making a donation to help RD to compensate me for my time and efforts.

So, if you feel that by volunteering my personal time and effort I saved you from loosing $500, $1000, $2000 or even $3000 (not mentioning all the emotional trauma), please consider doing at least one of the following things:

• If nothing else, send a "Thank you" message. Feeling that my efforts were appreciated if a great reward in its own.
• Direct other people to our web site.
• Make a donation. How much to donate is completely up to you. You can donate $2 or you can donate $20. And believe me - your donation will be MOST APPRECIATED!!!

Or, you can leave a message in our guest book or on our forum
