How Gullible Are We?

I have just seen on the news that a “con man” has received a 4-year jail sentence for conning a woman that he had met online out of her life savings.
He apparently had a very good story to convince her of his ”honesty” and “sincerity”.

How many of us, here, and elsewhere on the net, have come across a similarly wonderful person who will “change our life for the better", if only we can help them over their “temporary” financial embarrassment?


I myself have met at least two - and a few more - that were suspect. uh oh
At first, having obviously read my profile, they have similar interests, aspirations, and concerns. They prefer mature women - preferably with assets - and are offering their help and experience.

A few emails later..... when asked specific details, they are very vague and wish to change the subject. Then they are suddenly preoccupied with their cash flow problem and accuse you of not being understanding.

And then............. silence! grin

They are obviously waiting for you to chase after them, having made you such an irresistable offer!
dunno

If you don´t, they might creep back in being all nice again, forgetting whatever happened or....
they just go and look for another prey.


Can anybody relate to this?

Track. .I'm not quite sure if you're talking about past life karma or some deed made in this life?

Hi Track..wave

If this is what you want to call it? dunno

KARMA - Do You Believe In It?

But Dee. .
There is no such thing as "bad" timing..."Wrong" time..."wrong" place etc.
Everything happens exactly as it should!
We don't know in advance what's in store for us?

If we think that we were somewhere at the wrong time and therefore we met the wrong people and had then bad luck...
How do we know that maybe there was a reason for that And maybe we were saved from something that could have happened to us if we had been there?

Nothing is "bad" or "wrong" but NEUTRAL.

Agree! Hello Lady M4 wave

KARMA - Do You Believe In It?

Hello Bod..long time no see! wave

Well...I don't believe in karma that we carry with us from lifetime to lifetime.

Yes..it's much deeper than most can imagine..
Karma and beliefs are all made to keep us entrapped.

I've cleared all mine from the subconscious as well as all beliefs.

KARMA - Do You Believe In It?

Well...no there isn't an official law it's only a saying...like the law of attraction etc...
They are "universal laws"

KARMA - Do You Believe In It?

I'm not looking into the future either but I'm talking about manifesting what we want to attract in our life.
In other words.. We have life choices..and it's up to us which one we choose.

KARMA - Do You Believe In It?

I know people can call it whatever they want but Karma is meant specifically for past life actions....in Hinduism and Buddhism at least.

KARMA - Do You Believe In It?

I agree but...I'm afraid that it's part of some beliefs.uh oh

KARMA - Do You Believe In It?

Hi Bw..

Karma is used for past lives..which is a belief in Hinduism and Buddhism...to pay our "debts" in a new incarnation.

What happens in this life is just the law of cause and effect.

KARMA - Do You Believe In It?

Hello Dee...long time do see? Thanks for your comment.

Regarding luck ..well...I don't see it as bad or good...but what has to happen just happens because it is meant that way.
dunno
