One problem with meeting people on dating sites, is that most of the people that make contact with you will in fact be romance scammers. Of the ones that aren't scammers most have very serious issues in their lives that make finding dates difficult if not impossible, particularily those willing to try to build a relationship with a stranger that lives thousands of miles away.
Be carefull, never send money and ideally...date locally.
sandi55: met this guy and it was going good until he ask me to lend him 2000$ when I told him I don't have it he wrote me an email telling me he loved me, then he ask me for 700$ and last night he ask me for 100$ visa gift card. Don't men read profiles I said I was hurt befor and was looking for someone who won't hurt me
Probable a Nigerian scammer. I get these kind of emails all the time, and in return for a check or an ATM card worth millions, they say all I have to do is pay a delivery fee of a few hundred dollars. One time I told them no (as I always do) and gradually, the scammer lowered his "request from $600 to ultimately down to $60. He quit emailing when I gave him the silent treatment. If this happens to you again, act surprised and say something like, "But I need to ask YOU for some money." Pour it on nice and thick, act clingy and he will quit begging.
