Completely baffled to read that 12 woman have been conned out of £250,000 in an internet dating scam.
Being single and currently on the same site that these woman got conned on, i get asked all kind of weird questions, even get approached by Eastern Europeans looking for a meal ticket to the UK! All requests are just ignored or if they persist and send me their email addresses, i just block them - its simple.
With all the exposure that these kind of cons get on the internet, would you not get suspicious the moment someone says i need money, especially if you haven't met them, regardless of how long you have been talking, emailing or texting?!
Seems common sense evaporates where "love" is involved.
