I Hate Scammers

My last post, I made reference to a person I've been talking to online. Low and behold, the foot finally dropped and they asked me for money.

I'm not really surprised. I figured it was a scam from the start. Some part of me was hopeful it wasn't. I need to stop being hopeful.

You'd think I'd be use to disappointment, given how often it happens in my life. No, I'm just left more and more hollow every time.

But there's always a part of you inside that hopes against hope & wishes that it's not a scam. You try not to keep being disappointed because you want to believe the best in people. Yet so many keep proving that we should not trust or believe. 馃様

@Bushmanoz Sad reality is that there are too many who enjoy & get satisfaction in causing misery & pain for others. Now when I have anyone say to me "don't worry, you can trust me", it makes me cringe & automatically put my guard up.

@bunnyXbunny I can't speak for all, but for me, it's very hard to put trust in people. I hate that, but I see no other way. I can't just sit back & let people use me, abuse me, prey on me, etc. It doesn't mean I will not talk to anyone; instead, I find myself being cautious & watching what I say until I see if I can begin to trust or not. 馃し

i recently had one they sent a pic, you can do a pic search on google,and t came back to a porn star, i confronted them about it, they lied, sent another pic, and that one turned out fake too, i kept insisting on who they are, they set up a video chat which another person yet and they were paying more attention to other thongs around them, i heard other voices which led me to believe the wasn't the same person either, on line for about 30 seconds, then disconnected,thet did hint for money, but didn't get any

Better to be in the know and not vulnerable to a scam, than to get used. It's sad there are so many people that prey on the lonely...hugs!

@bunnyXbunny and kept saying, ' I just need to talk to the Father at the church about that.' To be fair she visited 'the church' so often, she would've been better off as a nun.
Having said all that it has given me an idea for a TV drama based on this sort of thing, if I ever get my lazy ass in gear I may one day write it.

Don't you just love that. I don;t know how those people can sleep at night, a lot of lying to themselves and self justification is my guess. But inside if you were them, you'd have to know what a crappy individual you are. Sorry it happened mate
