This happened to me. I refused to send money so he has another way. He was out of the country n needed cash for his business there. He said he couldn’t get resources from his bank account so a business associate in the US was sending me a check to put in my account so I could wire him money. I received a check for $40,000.00. It was from someone in the US. I still didn’t get involved with him financially. I stopped communicating with him. A month later he started calling again. He was ready to b with me. Ready to meet. Wanted me to meet his daughter. They were both coming to visit me n meet me. It was his daughter’s birthday. He wanted us to go in together to give her a gift together. Another reason for him to ask for $$$. At this point I said no, do not call me again. I told him I thought he was a scam artist. He said I had trust issues…lol. So far I have not heard from him again. What amazes me is there isn’t a website monitored by legal authorities that you can report these people to. They have the potential of taking women and men for hundreds of thousands of dollars. No man that is legitimate will ask for $$$ I don’t think. If they do, hang up. Love is not what they want from you.

Thank you Sherry for sharing your story and kudos to you for recognizing this man as a scammer. They do use the trust issue thing to hook you more and many women cave because they’ve fallen in love with the man and of course want him to know that they trust him. Don’t let this keep you from dating. There are good men out there waiting for you. Big hugs~

Hi Monica…I’m so sorry that your guy turned out to be a Scammer. I know its heart crushing. Best thing you can do is cut off all contact with this man, do some healing and forgiveness work (Brene Brown has a great book about shame and forgiveness and I work with clients on this as well-reach out to me at Lisa@findaqualityman.com if you want to talk about it) then get back out there and date. You want someone local so you don’t spend more than 2 phone calls chatting before you meet. I know this feels devastating right now and that’s why its important to take some time to heal and get your confidence back. Big hugs to you Monica~

I find the male scammers, to be very religious in there profiles. They put things like looking for there Queen and there the King.
They all seem to be widowed.
Most are ordinary male pictures that they steal online.
I’ve been asked to get itune cards, send money, and even they will send me money and then I have to put into my bank account and refund them. Lucky for me I realized they were scammers, but I played them out as I wanted to learn about the scams (I have a single 68 yr old mother that is also dating, so I needed to know to make sure she wasn’t scammed!)
It’s sickening to see them prey on lonely women who only want to meet a nice man. Shame on what this society has come too!
