Does people really ask other SW members for money?

Someone told me today a lot of people on here asks him for money - I was very surprised!! I know of one other person that gave people on EP money but did not realize it was a common theme on here!! Any thoughts or personal experiences?

I've had 4 of them in the last week alone. It is quite common and the patterns are similar. When I asked one why they send me messages from multiple accounts they deleted their account. I can't believe it actually works but it seems to be growing rapidly.

I don't have any stories posted on my profile but I was considering writing a story about this because it is growing.

@TwinklelilStar, The other angle I'm seeing a lot of lately is prostitution. I know you ladies get all sorts of crazy things in your inbox. Guys do to but it is a different kind of crazy.

so girls approach you on here?

Yes they do. It has probably been 50-50%. About half the time I've initiated a conversation and about half the time I receive the initial PM.

There is a pattern to the conversations as well. They start out innocent enough but it isn't long before the true intent is obvious. The writing patterns are the same as well.

Pink has pointed out some obvious fakes in the threads, but go to the people list at the top and just browse the female profiles. You will see obvious similarities all the way down to the groups chosen.

It wouldn't surprise me if less than 50% of the female profiles on this site are actually females or "real" in any way at all.
