Welcome to the forum. Yes indeed there are pages out there with pictures. Romance scams and other things. Just google where to find pics of scammers. You can also do a reverse image search on your guy on google. It should pull up where he has posted that picture. But I will tell you....oh my....that FACEBOOK is a hunting ground for these predators. They are looking for women that are down at the moment and vulnerable. Most study their prey so they can trap them.

Yes is seems inhumane and it is actually. But not everyone that smiles in your face has your best interest in mind.

When you feel comfortable, please share your story with us. We learn from each other. But only share it when you are ready emotionally. Keep reading older postings on here and see that the stories are almost the same...like it was scripted...and in most cases....it is.

One thing that I have learned is that our gut is true to us. Trust your gut. If it seems too good to be true...it most likely is. If you feel pressured or you are bombarded with lots of compliments...be careful.

When you are ready ... we are here to help. In these kind of situations...even those closest to us cannot understand the emotional complexity of online predators who are out for themselves and really do not care who they hurt. But here on this forum...you will find that we do understand.

Stay safe...be blessed.
