hismione55: Anybody can write long messages etc that seems to good to be true. No matter how good someone may sound, you must always have doubt because you will never know what will happen. even good friends do bite. i guess the rule to find out if anybody is a scammer or otherwise is to look for signs that he/she is asking for money, or fake his arrival, or fake of delivering anything to you (something got stuck at the customs etc). take care.

Thank you for messaging me back. He never asked for my money. I do not understand why people do this. He kept saying he wants to meet me soon.

irena0688: I regret not asking for his phone number earlier. I did ask him personal questions, he never responded. He kept writing about his job, hobbies, family in Paris. I specifically told him that I lost everything in a divorce, he never responded. I feel really confused, and I do not know why someone would do this kind of this thing.


I can understand you feel a little hurt & humiliated, but you're not alone & many people have lost more than just pride.. Just put it down to experience & look at it as a learning curb.sad flower

maybe he'll be back.
maybe some other woman bit first?

but the first key of online dating is don't gamble more then you are willing to lose.

scammed? but he didn't want any money, he just ate up your time.
that sounds more like a catfish

irena0688: Yes, I do not understand why he would write that he lives in a 1,125 square feet house all by himself. His profile also said that his income $100,000-$150,000 , nothing is making sense to me at all. I never used this kind of website. I even wrote to him that I lost everything in a divorce. I feel devastated.



Don't feel bad hug you did nothing wrong. Take it as an opportunity to learn and be more careful next time.

irena0688: Thank you for messaging me. I did upload his phone onto Google, it shows 2 other photos of a weird Asian person in a car. I still don't understand, why he wrote really long messages to me about his work, life??????? He also said he wants to meet me soon.
Perhaps he copy and paste love letters from internet and add few more sentences of his own....that's what scammers do. Scammers first make preparations to soften you up before seeking money for suden emergency situation. Don't give to anybody your home address and personal informations !!!If you ever going to meet person face to face ...make sure is in public places where's many people around and tell some friend where your going and who your meeting to watch after your safety.professor

It smells to scammer.

Be aware that even regular forum posters might be scammers I have my doubs with a couple or so.

Just do not send money to anyone not even if his Grandma needs a surgery detective and get it over with.

Yes you were being scammed. Everything you write on here screams scammer, but unless you've ever (which now you have) had someone try to scam you, you wouldn't know this, do read all the warning signs on CS about scammers. You say you told him you don't have money, they don't care, they will smooth talk you until they have you so madly in love with them you can't think straight and they will have you begging, borrowing and stealing for them and their "love". A typical scammer on this site are: engineers, divorced/widowed with a child or two, wanting you to get off this site to email them, and are supposedly wealthy. They will write you for a long time and gain your confidence and get you to fall for them, then they will hit you for money. It is so slick you won't even know it. Don't feel bad, you are lucky they were found out. This is not a real person, it is a part these scammers are playing, they steal the pictures of someone, they don't live in these glamorous places and don't make all that money, it is all a fantasy that people fall for. So pour yourself a glass of wine and toast to yourself that you are still here and now you are wiser, you've got your first scammer under your belt. Always be cautious. There are some great people on here. wine And then there are the scammers. santa waving

Good luck!
