I can relate to what you girls are going, I actually met 2 wondeful guys, I mean wonderful, they way they talk, the way they present themselves then to realise that they both were scammers, they are not for real and they use someone else picture. One is Mack ray (mack.ray009@yahoo.com) and the other one is Dan japhet (id myodhs or beloved) email address is myodhs@yahoo.com. I really thought they were nice and I believe in them too but it did hurt to realise I was being scam because I dont think that people like that should be online. What gets to me is that they dont have any feeling, they are hear for one thing to meet woman and take them for granted.... |

I was the victim of circumstances. He came at the right time when I feel I need someone. |
Right now,there are many woman out there lonely and getting
scammed as they prey to the love words we want to hear.After so many emails and chatting he calls you his wife. And from there on we wait for his calls and chat for hours on.once we find ourselves missing him, looking out for him, he ask for money.And it's like to give him afraid to lose him, or not to give and still lose him. I was a victim of this, and I gave and gave and gave until the day came when we are suppose to meet, and I was told he had an accident. For three weeks I was told he was in the hospital and he called for me to pick him up.I was so sympathetic to the tone of his voice, but at the same time I was afraid to go to Africa ( he said he was there on pipeline contract. Being new to this on line business .....
Few emails, then job contract to Africa, no money for tools so he cannot work, then came the time he finished his work he has to deposit a big pay out for his contract but he has no money to pay the bank in order for them to deposit the money to the bank here in Canada. He said he is canadian. So when I was told he was dying in Africa I didn't want him to die there so I gave him more money for his fare to Vancouver and I was even willing to help him recover.
That was the last money I gave bec. the day I waited at the airport for his arrival, he was never on that flight....Email said he died on the way to the airport. Talking to him, it never dawn on me that he was a scammer. but as the sequence go on.....and the thought of him dying then I knew I was scammed. And to think that I never fooled around.
I waited for the right man to come just to realized he was a scammer HURT me so bad..So now I have to start all over
being bitter and unhappy with man in gen.I prefer to be alone and live happy the way I am.That man cannot be trusted....I hate them.
