Just to make it clear, I am not looking for free Bitcoin.  I lost a significant amount to a fraudulent online trading platform which has now been shutdown.  I have accepted my loss and am not soliciting these people who randomly contact me.  I would never pay anything upfront to these individuals.  if someone claims to have access to any of my investment funds and wants to transfer them to me without an upfront payment then I would do my due diligence first.  My first inclination when someone contacts me is that it is a scam.  If I am unsure then I seek the advice of the forum members to educate me.  In this instance I knew nothing about Bitcoin.org but you guys have educated me and I now know how what red flags to look for.
