CobraCollectionScam.com <\/a>has taken a significant amount of my time this past week.<\/p>\nI obviously am not required to volunteer my time to sort, organize, and report the new Cobra Collection Agency and Janice Ledden information being submitted to me.\u00a0 However, I also realize very few people have the flexibility of time, the skills, the means, and the internal fortitude to commit to this course of action.<\/p>\n
For years, I have lived and worked\u00a0in Columbus, GA relatively anonymously.\u00a0 And now, I find myself in a more visible position in the local area.\u00a0 Not to mislead anyone to think that I am “famous” locally, but I have met and interacted with more new local people this past week than I have in\u00a03-4 years time!<\/p>\n
I think (and hope) I will soon hit a stopping point where I do not have to continually update information.\u00a0 I believe I have captured most of the important background information but new information and stories could be submitted.<\/p>\n
The upside to all of this is that I do not think my time is being wasted.\u00a0 This new website has shot to the first page\u00a0within Google on various search names and phrases within a few days.\u00a0 Obviously, this blog has gathered a lot more local interest than it ever has before.<\/p>\n
Sure, I don’t mind being better known but for leading the charge on scam-busting?\u00a0 That will be an interesting title to add to my resume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
