If it were my friend, I'd do what I can because getting burned in the short term by a friend who may not hold up his end of the deal will sting a lot less than not trying to help and much worse things happening, in my opinion.

You’ll get burned.

I dont want to pass up this opportunity but I also dont want to be foolish and get burned.

Very difficult to do the things your saying.So if they did test me I'd just have to explain how I've been burned as an out of state person./  When you tell them your from california they don't do it for $20.

My heart and soul burned so hard every day that I found it difficult to carry on a conversation.
