yep, good thing there aren’t any bad people or who knows how much worse it would be?
all of the people on here who get caught doing something wrong are ALAWYS “good” people…………
Kay, where is the phone company that is hiring and the Lowe’s? I’d like to apply but I want to go where there is actual hiring and not just application taking.
REGARDING:
“I personally know this person and she is a good person.”
You are what you do.
You do what you are.
If she is a good person and did what she is charged with, then “fraud, nine counts of forgery and one count of grand theft, all felonies” are good things.
If she is really a good person, then she did not do the things with which she is charged.
David for good people
I’m thinking there are more problems in her life than have been revealed here. Maybe this will serve as a wake up call and get her some help. Stealing is just wrong here not only did she steal from her family but from th vendors who she did business with. This means we the consumer will have to pay for this as they will have to include these kindds of losses in their prices to recoup the loss. Just saying I hope this is a wake up for her!
I personally know this person and she is a good person. She has just made some bad choices in her life and I am sure she regrets her choices. I will be praying for her and her family.
Businesses should require picture ID before taking checks and credit cards. They ask me for mine everytime I pay by check and sometimes credit card, with exception at gas pump. Some gas pumps you have to enter a pin but most you do not.. I recently heard of a 34 year old that tried to steal her grandmother’s social security number by a phone call with her boyfriend asking questions and trying to be someone else. Of course, she did not get it that time.
To be a nonviolent offense, the law comes down hard on those paper hangers, as they should. The Wiggins are good people and this should not reflect on them as a whole.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE……times are not that bad. All you have to do is get a J.O.B.
The phone company is hiring, lowes is hiring. There ARE jobs out there, and for
this person to steal from her own flesh and blood, well there just aren’t the right
words for this in a public forum.
Sorry, no excuse for it!!!! A lot of people are in a bind & hurting with this economy that do not resort to theft & fraud!!
Things like this always catch up with you but at the same time it’s sad that things are so tough now days for some people that they feel the need to have to do things like this.
