G'day to all and gretings of the season.

well after much deliberation and prompeted by an empty home with some trepidation i set of again through the singles mine field.

i've been around the block before, and been engaged in conversation with rare and strange souls,
i have seen my share of fake profiles and meet people with 20 year old profile photo's
oddly enough, i am looking for a real person. or perhaps she is a myth doh

ghana seems to be a popular source of pritty face pics and vacant profiles, un solisited messages asking you to contact them on a hotmail address or such like,

several times i have done this to find, the end of the line some one looking verry engagingly for money,
common senario, and anteques dealer, stuck needing funds to leave the contry, hmmm

this week some one from my area claiming to be in going to ghana, but thought that 8:30 pm was morning time,
well i guess every one needs to make a living, but i can spot a scam i feel,

love to hear about others tripping over similar mines in the singles field
gheers all

Merry Christmass to you all who are going to read this.

Once you have been stung with these kind of emails you tend to hear the bells ringing from the start.

Yes, I am always amazed that people are STILL replying to scam emails, getting sucked in, and sending oodles of money to someone they have never met!!

I told my kids years ago, Beware, you can be anything you want to be on the net and that still applies.

Welcome to CS, PS I am not from Ghana but I do have a sick grandmother ..... money for medical bills ...... got a thriving business but just need some extra funds to get stuff into Australia...... can you help?? comfort peace

All I can say is that Im doing it wrong, cause no one EVA SENDS ME MONEY frustrated

OP everyone gets messages from scammers, its part of the special attraction of being on a FREE site. We all get them, We all block them.... even BJ (and his profile only has 3 sentences uh oh)

Welcome to the forums, and I hope that you have a great time here wave

just been through the same - thought the guy was real ... guess you just have to keep on trucking and hope for someone real - who you actually believe - after all the others it's going to be hard not to be cynical!

It is difficult to meet that particular person who dots all our i's and crosses all our t's. It doesnt matter if you go clubbing every friday night, hang out music venues, go on 1000 blind dates, or chat to people on the net.

I think its meant to be tricky to find that person, that way when we find them we realise how important and precious they are.

As for here, I go to meets when they are planned, have been to them in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide. I've met some incredible people, and I've been fortunate enough to make some great friends. So as far as Im concerned there are LOADS of very REAL people here. grin

and we have the badly behaved drunken pics to prove it


Good luck in your search
