very important article!!
Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

🚨 NEW 🚨 A man sold a cabin, borrowed $1m from family and friends, and raided his own savings to set up a store on what appeared to be a Japanese Amazon rival.

Turned out pig butchers who stole the face of a South Korean actress were scamming him.
