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.

It's sad but inevitable that unscrupulous people will target the vulnerable and lonely, or mess around with peoples emotions. But sending money to complete strangers?

I genuinely don't understand how so many people can be so gullible.
