Well Hill......what can I say......have my hand up here
Met a guy on another site from the uk and we started going out about two years ago. I flew over there and he over here. Well to cut a long story short he asked me for a loan and I like a fool lent it to him the whole of 10,000 euro.
Anyhow it's a long story but this is the short version.
Have to say learned my lesson big time....never never to be repeated...I guess that is why I dont trust anymore.
I feel you here my Irish sister.But lets face it when this happens when we give our hearts and we are hurt we have to protect ourself from that kind of pain.So what do we do we harden our hearts we put up them wallsI have shared my story on a few occasions he was a romance scammer,but damn he looked good said just the right thing.And he got my heart.And it was hell to get it back.But I feel sorry for the ones he is out there pulling it on .But I WENT ON THE FORUM ON THAT SCAM SITE POURED IT ALL OUT IT FELT BETTER THEN TO CARRY IT AROUND.aND AS FOR BEING ON GUARD iM ON GUARD AT EVERYONE I SEE.HERES A HUG FOR YOU.
Yep, I almost got pulled in by one of these guys. he was in Paris or so I thought. I was on another site and was approached on e-mail by a guy that was seemingly friendly and was (what I thought to be) genuine at the time....a couple weeks went by (we were writing all this time) and he wrote me and asked if he could call me well, I gave him my cell number instead of my home number just for precautionary reasons (glad I did now). Well, he was no longer writing me but calling me now. to make a long story short (kinda) He went to Africa on a business trip, was there a couple of days, and called to tell me he had been mugged by the natives there and didn't have any money and his credit cards were stolen and asked for me to send him money to get home. LOL, I knew something was up but wanted to know what (part of my inquisitive nature). I told him I didn't have the money to send so he said "well, if I have someone send you money orders, will you cash them and send me the money through Western Union"...LOL another Red flag....I said go ahead and a couple days later I recieved, Via FED EX 3 money orders for 850.00 each...LOL I immediately took them to the post office (where they originated from) and had the post master check them for Authenticity....not to my amazment....they were bogus.....I gave them all the information I had on everyone that I had numbers and addresses for.
PLEASE ladies and men, don't get pulled in on these scam artists....they will drain you and they are NOT real. They prey on women AND men looking for mates...and people selling big dollar items!!
Sorry youhad to go thru that.But thats what it takes to be safe then bring it on.And remember most of the pics being used are stolen from either models or by ones called phishersGlad you know when to spot a red flag.
you on here who are going around calling people fakes,should stop what you are doing.Its time to be happy for the here and now.I am most grateful for some on here on cs,it was flooding all around me but you never not once didnt let me know you were there.So everyone hand in hand,heart in heart.
