We were talking about blind trust which was what was described.
Trust only leads to FURTHER confirmation of representations. As in "I trust you so I will take the time to confirm what you say from independent sources". If I don't trust them, I don't waste any more time.
Blind trust is just taking someones word for it with no confirmation. Blinder trust is when it is given in an atmosphere of swirling warning signals and confirmations are refused to be considered.
Then there are just plain scams. BAYP is a SCAM!!!
