Viciousness and Selfishness of Scammers

Unbelievable:

Thanks for posting. The fact is these scammers and liars can be quite nasty and manipulative. In some cases they can even be dangerous and a handful of people have even lost their lives over this.

But usually these scams are just a big giant headache and heartache. People think they know what they are getting into until stuff really hits the fan.

I used to think I had it bad until I found this site 10 years ago, and since then it is quite amazing what some of these poor middle-aged ladies will put themselves through in order to have the most fleeting encounter with a younger, handsome man.

The fact is the internet and especially on-line dating are crawling with all sorts of scams. It's nothing like the obvious 9-11 lottery scams that believe it or not many people have fallen for. The dating liars and scammers are relentless manipulators. They have many times the intestinal fortitude than the average First World guy and all bets are off. They will pull out most anything to get what they want, including threatening to end the relationship themselves.
