I found a wonderful woman this week, she is 31, likes my pictures, does not mind that I am an old man....LOL. She is cool about it, she is just looking for REAL in her life, she just wants to be loved like all of us. She read my profile on a dating web site, she liked it and responded by writing me an email, so if I want to be correct, I have to say that she found me.
She made the first move......awesome...I love aggressive women.
I will post a picture of her here if I can figure out how to post to this page...LOL. I am a little slow on tech things....LOL I still don 't know how to post here from my apple IPad but I will keep trying.
Until then, I will post her picture as my icon image until I learn how to post to this page, so at least you guys can see her.
I have never been so happy as I am today. Praise the name of God Most High, and I am.

It was all a scam.....LOL yeah I figured it out when she asked for money. The good part is she didn't get any....nothing but a telephone scam. I thought scams were something from the Internet .....but this one came through text messages all I can say is if someone is trying to text message you don't answer them

Same thing happened to my Dad, young pretty girl from the internet, invest a lot of time and emotional attachment then bam can I have some money. He found out it was a scam too so didn't give her anything. Good to hear you are wise Gabe and didn't fall for it. Scammers everywhere, just ask Biggs.

How do some people sleep at night. There are so many dishonest people out there. They don't care about anybody else.

I knew something was amiss as soon as money was mentioned......I am not sure how people sleep at night, I am just thankful that I got out when I did.
When did this happen to your dad ReuniteR, I never heard of a telephone scam before......
When someone texts you and asks for money, it can't be good. There is no telling how many people get ripped off each day.....
Well at least they didn't get to me.......

I copped it last week on the telephone, another scam, a very creative one. I put it up in another section that's why I rang the police to try and help other people.
Now, for the internet dating scams Gabe. Last year one of our current affair shows had a couple of stories of women looking for men on dating sites.
You wont believe this but a couple of women handed over $100,000 and another about $55,000. I think they tracked them to somewhere in Africa and they were arrested, but make no mistake they are still doing it. And no the women did not get their money back. They try to get at the lonely looking for love, comfort and a mate. People who do this make up fake bios with fake pictures. I believe a lot of people still fall for it, especially women.
So you have to be careful in dealing with anyone on the phone, or internet now. xo

There are a lot of them out there Biggs. I never even suspected until money was brought up, then I knew something was up. I just blocked the number......

It happened a little over a year ago. Yeah I'm sure people have thought about every conceivable scam. Karma will eventually catch up to them.

I feel for those that get taken like the person in Biggs story. To think of the pain some people will suffer by actually getting taken for their money.
The amazing part was I never suspected anything.......until money was spoken....just another trusting soul just talking?
I am just surprised at their being a text and or phone scam, I sure never heard of them before?
As they say all is well that ends well....

Karma for sure ReuniteR will bite them, it is built into the fabric of things, Gods little way of getting even so to speak.
