That was my bad but unfortunately is in line with my overall suspicious nature. I sometimes forget there are truly kind and well-intentioned people out there, especially on DU.

I'm a worry wart, too and get sick every time I hear about someone being scammed. It usually doesn't end with a one time charge. Thankfully I saw people in the comments leaving sound advice for the OP. I should have backed out instead of picking on you. i'm so sorry!
