RE: signs u r falling deeply inlove

I guess some of us are still very naive and gullable. Like I said, this is my first online dating experience and thought all people on here are genuine and here for the same reason as me.I guess we learn the hard way.

RE: signs u r falling deeply inlove

Thanks Laura,

Very informative, I guess I will stop whinning about this now and move on.
Just to add to the webcam suggestion, he did invite me to view him on his webcam to prove he was real and he was, I only questioned his intentions after he asked me to use my credit card to make an online purchase on his behalf, He told me he was sick, stuck in Nigeria and urgently needed the medication which was only available in the US.Needless to say he wasnt pleased when I turned him down.That was the last I heard from him.

RE: signs u r falling deeply inlove

Thanks for understanding...very kind of you.I consider myself an intelligent woman and very intuitive but hey it happens to the best of us...being new on cyber dating, I didnt know what to expect and thought he was God sent. His profile drew me in, he sounded so vulnarable and honest,looking for a true love and hated two timers just like me after he was cheated on by his ex.I got sucked in and wanted to comfort him and fix his broken heart. When I found out he was fake, I was crushed and wished and still wish it was all a big mistake. I have cut all ties but recently saw him here with a diff profile and username.

I think you are wrong about the filter box. I am not a scammer and sometimes I do initiate contact cause I believe God helps those who helps themselves If I really like a guy, I would flower or email him even if he has blocked my area, hoping he will look at his filter box and find me...so far it hasnt worked butI guess they all probably have the same mindset of generalising scammer behavior

If ever you decide to broaden your criteria...I am here :)

RE: U just received an interesting inbox message/great picture-To good to be true...

I just wanna give my two cents word here cause you all seem to think you have a lock down on scammers. I came here a few months ago looking for real love after my divorce and wanted to broaden my horizon interms of dating...I have since had a lot of men contact me from all sorts of backgrounds and also had two white gorgeous men scammers contact me,one of them proposed marriage to me. One of them was apparently mixed race, half English,half Nigerian, apparently inheriting a fortune from his father's estate in Nigeria, looking to relocate to start afresh with a woman like me. One was half Moroccan, half English living in New York. Let me tell you something.. I consider myself an intelligent woman but I really fell hard for these guys...even after realizing they were fake,I was devastated that I had to walk away and still secretly still hoping its all a big mistake.

I know Africa has a bad name on here but we are not all scammers, I too never expected to be scammed by a white gorgeous/wall street type looking white man with blue eyes who claims to have a degree.

I just want everyone to be openminded enough to give everyone a chance before judging them,thats all. There is nothing wrong with being cautious and doing background checks etc but hey we cant all be put in the same box.I 'm starting to ask if they are a scammer...[

RE: signs u r falling deeply inlove

he!he!he! I feel you there, I fell head over heals with a scammer,heck I am still inlove even after finding out he was about to take me for a ride

RE: Nationality - Which one do you prefer

guess I don't qualify as I am South African and got disqualified on the first round while being the 2010 Soccer World Cup host?

RE: Nationality - Which one do you prefer

Interesting topic guys...couldn't resist...I am opened to everything that is human as I believe thats what we all are, as long as they are a good and a decent human being.

RE: hello ladys

Wow! you are hot!!!! I know I do not fit your criteria but just thought I'd throw it out there!
