Answer #1

Never respond to any e-mail offers that ask for personal information. It’s just not worth the risk. These people can use the information to steal your identity or you could get into some real legal trouble. I wouldn’t do it…

Answer #2

well they did inform me that they would be sending the money order first and as soon as it clears then I would send my hair to them..

Answer #3

I don’t know. I personally am always wary of emails where people offer cash. Unless you contacted them first and know that it’s legit, for a large part of the time, such things are usually scams.

Did they give you any information about who they are? Or anything else that you can use to check how legit they are? Because if they’re scamming you, they could actually make money off of your hair and you’d get zip.

If you’re looking for a good place to donate, check out Locks of Love. :) They are not-for-profit, and generally a very great place to give to.
