Men vs Women: How they scam you

Those are good points, and I'm sorry that had to happen to you.

The thing about the scammers is that if you are a WOMAN, they will play on your emotions to a T.
A lot of women on here tell me that their guy will cry and weep and try all sorts of romances to get them back or win their hearts over. These are really just signs of desperation.

And Ladies, don't feel like you are alone. When these scammers hit men, they often don't even meet the family. A lot of you have, and have even been to their country.

That's because the scammers are usually able to get money out of them without all the formal pleasentries. The girl looks soooo pretty and enticing, they just can't help it.

With men, they REALLY pour the beauty, which is why they steal pictures of models.

They also make up some big sob story. That's a sales technique that strippers, waitresses, and even some webcam girls will use to get the guy to fork over more dough. A big, huge pity party. I can also see from the stories on here that your Moroccan or Muslim men often do this too.

The Golden Rule is this: If they are soooo great and wonderful, how come they have to go on-line to meet people? Why not in real life? If they are so desperate for money, how can they afford internet access over food and water and shelter?
