Searching for love
Posted : 28 Aug, 2014 02:41 AM

We meet on this site and soon got talking by email then on chat and before I could think we were falling in love. He expressed his love for me and I for him. It was like a whirl wind romance.



Then he had to move country for work and I had to go back to my home country for a funeral in the family. We decided it would be better to chat on fb and so we joined each others account. He didn't have one but made up one so's we could chat. We never communicated much in that couple of weeks and when I came back home we did more regularly but still not the same. By this time we had been communicating for at least 10 weeks.



Then one night on fb he called late. I was surprised and didn't know what to think. He had never contacted me at night and it felt strange. Then in the conversation he asked for money. Of cause I was not gonna give him any money, I mean I have to think twice to give family or friends money these days. He had a reason why he needed it but any reason was not gonna get money from me.



I didn't expect to hear from him again so was very surprised when he did contact me. I called him on it and said "Are you who you say you are and did you really love me or was it all just a scam". He was shocked and denied it all. After talking to him a bit I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and said I would give him another go but that I have a lot of questions to ask him. We agreed I would question him when we next chatted.



It has now been a week since I have heard from him and I now believe it was all a scam.



What I want to say here is he seemed like a genuine guy in every way but I didn't ask the questions I should have. You know those inbetween questions like. What movie did you go and see today? Can you send me a more resent photo of yourself with your family and friends? What school does your daughter go to? What is the name of your married sister? How can I know you are who you say you are? I don't know but questions I should have asked when they came to mind.



I know we might all have a scam story but this was my first and last I hope. The one main thing as everyone says is don't give any money to them. They shouldn't be asking for money anyways.



I'm glad I wasn't too hurt in this process and I wanted to write this to make sure you girls and guys realise theres no shame in being scammed cause in looking for love it happens. The best thing to do is just move on and keep trying. I believe there is a someone out there for me and I know God has that one for me.



God Bless you all.

I guess, it's more difficult to lie on Facebook but it can and is done as well, although usually in a more subtle way.



And then there are people like me who have FB but do not use it much. But then, you could find stuff on me on internet (about my job, for instance) that would tell much about me.



There are also sites that document well-known scammers (I have just identified one simply by google image search).



Anyway, I am nicely surprised that not everybody seems to be a psychopath, a scammer or an internet addict here. Hahaha.
