Attention Please, SomeguyfromMichigan was.......

Was the romance scammer on here. I didn't get scammed so I don't care to throw him under the bus.He tried to scam me, but I had forgotten and saw it in my messages last night.

Players don't get Played, but sadly hopeless romantics do. Sorry to the women who's kindness was taken as weakness by him. I've heard of 4-6 women on here he scammed.

I can honestly say that trying to date on a platform like this is a bad idea. I dated one guy I met here and although we had a year long relationship it went tits up because well I don't think he really wanted to be with me.

I had been offered by someone I considered to be a friend money to help me out in a difficult situation and I told them I didn't want to take it but they reassured me that I could pay it back over time.
Shortly after receiving the money the messages came in thick and fast, the dynamics of the friendship changed.
I suddenly became their pawn.
I complained to them and tried to get them to see what they were doing.
But he started trying to slander my name, that I used him.

I bet he didn't post that I paid him back in full!

These all happened some years ago like maybe 4/5 years back before lockdown.

Never again.

Lessons have been learned.

@Mellowgirl savage dude. Sorry that happened to you

@Mellowgirl I’m sorry this happened to you too 😞

WoWgirll · 36-40, F

@Oneofthestormboys that was nice of you

@WoWgirll I know how it feels to be taken advantage of. That’s why I sympathise with anyone that’s gone through this. So much nastiness in the world nowadays.

@Oneofthestormboys the nastiness you speak of, is why your kindness is appreciated 👍

@WoWgirll you know, when I look back I was desperate for love. (Kind think I've become numb recently)

In this instance of the friendship I was cautious but I thought we had known each other long enough. At least in the sense of it wasn't a 2 month friendship, it was 4/5 years.
He'd always been a "friend" he had issues and so did I but we worked through them together, shared a lot, some thing's we didn't have in common others that we did.
It was respectful and nothing darker.

He had a few friendships in his personal life that went sour, but I warned him to be cautious.
Unfortunately the behaviour he displayed when he sent that money over made sense, in the cases he had discussed with me before.

Some people are just not healthy.

@Mellowgirl This is true. There have been plenty of times where I’ve felt the need to be loved, and it can lead to some dodgy decision making unfortunately.
You’re absolutely right about some people being unhealthy to be with too - and it hurts to admit it doesn’t it?

WoWgirll · 36-40, F

@Mellowgirl try not to be numb everyone has been disappointed, tricked, or lied to at some point in their life. But I totally understand what you mean about becoming that way. It's not good

WoWgirll · 36-40, F

@Mellowgirl I hate that long of a friendship got ruined over such bs. That's a long time

Mellowgirl · 31-35, F

@WoWgirll I agree. But it can't have been real. That's how I got over it anyways.

@Mellowgirl Good for you poppet 😊
