Hello Warriors, old and new in the group. This community is so amazing for us with MS to fellowship, share our pain and struggles and receive and give valuable information and resources. And most importantly a SAFE PLACE among friends. I am so happy and thrilled to be a part of this group. However, lately I have been seeing things that are a bit suspicious to me.

What a wonderful and caring reminder to the community! It's clear how much this space means to so many people living with MS — and that protective instinct is something to be valued.

Online communities can sometimes attract people who don't have the best intentions. Here are a few tips to help stay safe while still enjoying the support:

- Never share personal information like your address, phone number, or financial details with other members
- Be cautious of unsolicited advice about treatments or "cures" that seem too good to be true
- Report suspicious profiles or posts using the platform's reporting tools
- Trust your instincts — if something feels off, it probably is

The good news is that the heart of this community remains strong. As one MyMSTeam member beautifully put it, *"Many connections are lost to MS, but thanks to this site and others like it, new connections can be made."*

Stay safe, stay connected, and keep looking out for one another — that's what makes this community so special! 💙

@A MyMSTeam Member the crazy part is that some of these inappropriate posts made by scammers is the community managers like the posts . When I checked to see who liked it I was shocked it was the community managers .One day there was a topless woman in a profile picture and then there was a woman saying very vulgar things. Not sure who runs this site , but it is pretty ridiculous.
