Women: Asking for money?

Hey guyz and gals. I've got a bit of a rant here, so bear with me.

I have met several women here whom I've had a great time chatting/iming with. There were 2 good possibles that I was thinking of taking it to the next level. You know meeting them in person and see where it leads to. Hopefully to a meaningful relationship.

However it turns out like so: They travel to a foreign country from the US be it business or pleasure I don't know , and we're still chatting/iming and all is good until they ask me to wire money. They insist that it's for personal reasons and give me the info which turns out to be a male's name, the foreign country's info along with address and zipcode and we haven't even met yet!

I find it quite odd they they go through these lengths to travel, book a hotel room, but yet are broke to have a meal or whatever the they need. I mean who the heck travels over thousands of miles, books a hotel room, which I know all this costs a pretty penny, but yet doesn't have money to eat? C'mon, wussup with that?

I travelled to Phoenix, booked a hotel room for a week and made sure I had enough funds to eat for 2 weeks just in case.

I'm not here judging that all women here are scammers but, it just makes me change my mind about dating sites. Now I feel I'm more protective and hesitant towards meeting people over this and any other dating site. Am I crazy to think this way?

I wired a girl money...I was a little suspicious, cuz it was in a guy's name, like you said. But I trusted her because I had IMed her for quite a while here.

A couple of weeks later, she traveled here (to Oklahoma, at her own expense) and stayed with me for three days. WELL. She was the most passionate lover I've ever known. We barely slept in those three days, and I don't regret a second of it. When she left, I felt like she took a little of my soul with her...I may ask her to marry me and move here forever.

MORAL: If a woman asks you for money, wire it to her. You aren't getting any younger or any laider, are you?

Anyone who sends money to a person they haven't already met in person is not only naive, but exceptionally foolish.

Thanx ladies and gents. I almost wired the money to the first lady, but then thought against it. Tho she was really sincere and I thought we had a connection, but then when I did'nt send it I never heard from her again, lol.

The second was as sincere and she was alot closer as far as distance was concerned (as what she said anyway, but then when I failed to wire the money she got all upset and said I betrayed her.

To the gentleman who wired that lady friend of his money and she spent 3 nights with: You lucked out big time! Yeah I know it's about taking chances, but that's one chance I won't take thank you very much. And it isn't about getting ass/laid. I want alot more than that. If i wanted to pay for some ass I can drive down the road and get take out. Why "try" to order out-of-state?

I'll have to admit these scammers are getting quite creative, lol.

Apparently there are a lot of foreigners on the net willing to spend great effort and time to steal a tiny amount of money. Pitiful but I see it again and again. I wont spend anytime with anyone who doesnt have a webcam.

NO dont wire any money to her...........its a scam big time...and any man or woman who ask someone for money especially someone you just met on a dating site, without even meeting them cant be up to no good and and certainly do not have any pride in themselves. i agree with Jim you have to be real foolish. from the time he/she gives a another person name for the money to be wired to and not their own name then the red flags should go up right away.

First of all it's males names because these are not women; many are nigerian men who take females photos and try to make profiles that attract men that will give them money eventually. Many scammers also will pay women to pose as the person in the photos so they can get the man to trust them.

NEVER give anyone money. If they ask for money then they are a scammer. Most are not actual women. It cracks me up when someone says Russian women are broke and poor and they are scamming. That's a joke. Russia has more millionaires now than any other country in the world and I've been their twice and they are doing much better financially than we are in the u.s.

Any man desperate or naive enough to send money to someone they haven't seen or know are suckers waiting to be ripped off. Mens' intentions are good, but they lose their mind over a pretty photo.

Indeed. Well this is the last email I recieved from that person:

"....Well babe you hurt me so much with this email ....
i dont know what to do now my world is crashing down on me now..babe
YOu hurt me so much ....
Believe me i cant do without you and about the info its the hotel managers info not mine babe he gave it to me when you asked for it...
babe dont treat me this way please..."

Listen....do you hear that? I dunno but it sounds like a violin in the background

Anyway I reported them both. You try to do the right thing, be honest, polite, considerate and they try to take you as a sucker

these scammers follow the same pattern, and it is people like yourself who they try to scam, it nearly happened to me the first time I went on to dating sites, but only in the corospondence stage then I clicked.
This is a full time job for these women and it does not take long to type a letter on the site and manipulate the victim.
They are mainly from eastern Europe or Africa.
But this site has all the warnings on it,just press SCAM WARNINGS
which is in BOLD RED at the top of the page.
