Ladies, if you are supporting yourself financially and you meet a man who asks for money; shut him down, lose his number and block his calls and texts. There is NEVER an acceptable reason why a man should be asking a woman for money.
@MegTelevised 2 ай бұрын
Yes, let him ask another man
@lucakat9262 Ай бұрын
Yeah, I knew a couple who lived together and they were good friends for a time. But, the woman had an affair on him and moved out. Then he started calling me. When he sent a text asking for $60 I was like no. So I blocked him and never saw him or heard from him again.😊 It's definitely a red flag when someone asks you for money.🧐

I kept requesting to video chat and she wouldn't but finally accepted. She kept saying how lonely she was and that's why she was doing it. I think she had multiple FB profiles. It was so weird. After I was done playing with her I blocked the fake account and reported it. I can't remember if she was Nigerian. I think she was though.

Had to sell her house. She would still send guys money believing their lies. I seriously don't understand how these people can believe such lies.

They just feel like they were struck with a lightning bolt of romance that they never had before. Men act really weak and gay or openly predatory in the USA. A good strong man who is interested in you is like a fairy tale.

So many red flags, 1) if they use old love terms or my Queen, call every day from a foreign country because he is there for a project or assignment. 2) ask if you have eaten that day, constantly texting or emailing you. 3) it starts with a small dollar ask - they need some money for a cell bill or need money for rent or groceries as their account has been blocked. Once you send any amount of money you have been tagged as a victim and they will drain you for all you have.

Even people you know through your neighborhood, professionally, at organizations are still potential scammers. It takes lots of in person interactions over a very long period of time & situations to know someone well enough to know you want to be in a romantic relationship with them.

Exactly. I was duped by an old primary school classmate who well & truly duped me., loved bombed me etc and let me pay for literally everything. Luckily I saw the writing on the wall before I lost too much money and dignity. I still can’t believe how much a fool I made of myself. Be careful of everyone no matter who 😢

Good grief. This woman’s story is terrible, but - her husband didn’t “prepare her for this world”?? Did she marry her father? Any human being who is old enough to leave their parents’ nest & step into the world, be they male or female, is responsible to prepare THEMSELVES for the people & circumstances they encounter in life. Enough of this “helpless female who can’t manage without being told what to do by a man”, crap. Seriously. Don’t invest your $$ with, or give it away, to people you “meet” on the internet. It’s not rocket science. Sheesh.

And currently she is being scammed again by a "korean idol in his 20s" who she thinks is madly in love with her. I conclude that these people never learn their lesson, they like the attention and doesn't mind giving the hard earned money. I'm done telling her about these scams, it's a waste of my time& effort.

In the last 1.5 years, I have started receiving many Facebook friend requests from handsome, middle-aged men. It's so obvious to me that every request is a scam. I was curious to see what a couple of their profiles looked like. What they all have in common is that their accounts are quite new, they have no Facebook 'friends', they have a handful of post that are made to appeal to women (cute sayings, pictures of flowers, pics of puppies and kittens), they are all engineers in a foreign country, working in a remote area with poor internet connection. As much as I would love to respond and try to waste their time, I just ignore their friend requests. I feel very bad for this woman. She seems to be rather naive. Every single text and photo was a glaring red flag right from the start. She should have blocked this guy long before the money requests started.
