bbc1 10am online dating scams

It's very strange.
I watched a youtube documentary where the woman herself knew her "boyfriend" was a scammer, and she still wanted to carry the romance on.

Maybe she felt she was getting value for money MissA.

I suppose it shows a need for people to feel a connection with another human, in some way.
Sad really, isn't it?

I think it is really sad, sad that people are so lonely that they are vulnerable to these scammers. I have had a few friend requests on FB from good looking US army officers, but obviously just rejected and blocked them. The saddest thing to me is when the romance is revealed as a scam, for the victims it is akin to a bereavement, the 'death' of the person they thought they were in a relationship with, even though that person never existed.

Even if you're not lonely, it's a heady feeling to be overwhelmed with love and affection for a while...
Who doesnt enjoy being flattered, and thought about, and cared for?

I watched this & as sad as it is Many People Male & Females do get "Sucked in" loneliness ,vulnerability& just being easily manipulated all these clever people get swept along.
I remember seeing a previous programme & it was a Retired Senior Police Officer who had been scammed out of £££k'S .

Just last week I was selling on a well known Market Place not the one that starts with "E" .I had only just put my item an Vintage 1960's Chair on & had a buyer . Wow I was pleased .
However ,the dialogue with the "Buyer" was very "OFF " & 'She'
was telling me that she. would send the money with a courier , in an envelope & I would need to pay Insurance . If you watched the programme this morning same thing.
I had checked out the firm & thought it was odd ,asked where it was being delivered to etc .The responses I was getting were all very different to the type you would normally expect .
I blocked & reported .
So its not just dating sites.

Espee I am very glad that I am wrong was good to read all the success stories
