1st Discussion ~ Reviewing Africa Countries Project

 

Diva Girl spoke to the group regarding our Africa Countries Projects.  She advised the deadline date has been extended until January 22 2015.

She asked if anyone needed help or have chosen the countries they were interested in researching.  Due to some of the members scheduling or other commitments, a few members volunteer to help those in need with their projects.

With more than 20 Africa Countries remaining, Diva Girl asked if anyone would like to on another country besides the ones that have already chosen? There were many members who were excited about the opportunity to take on this challenage.

If you haven't choosen any countries by Wednesday 01/07/15 @ 5:00pm EST, Keeping It Real will be asking the group that she is associated with to help research the remaining countries.

 

2nd Discussion ~ Scam Alert

 

Keeping It Real brought to our attention about the text sent out from Rayren (OM) advising there is a scam regarding exchanging Dinars for a low rate, where people has sent in their currencies but no money was deposit into their accounts.

We need to be careful of who we talk to you & also NEVER:

Give out your social security info

Give out your full legal name

Give out your banking info

Give your personal information inculding your email & home address

And Never Ever let your currencies out of your sight until you go to the bank to do your exchange

4th Discussion ~ Response regarding Private Exchange

 

Blk Pearl spoke to the family about the text message recieved from Deekin when ask if there was a possibility of

The G.E.M. GROUP doing a private exchange with his contact from the banks he is associated with?

His response via text was:

1st text: It should happen very soon eith way the bank only wants to entertain the lower rate

Reply: In that case lets entertain the lower rate, some members are will exchange a few currencies until the RV is announced

2nd text: I think it's to close to happening at this time for a private exchange

Deekin was not available to answer any questions the members may had, however due to Tony's TNT call, it was said that he stated the RV should completed by mid January.
