It happens on-line and off-line.

yes, i saw all the signs early too but still wanted to talk. as soon as he asked for money for his plane ticket to see me, i knew it was a scam. i deleted him from my messenger group and i know he has moved on to some one else. and yes, i did report it, but know it won't get any where. after all i am not out any money, and did not give him any financial info. i hope he just moves on to the next victim, and does this the easy way instead of hacking into our computers. i just hope nobody else falls for these schemes. there is a really neat email tracking software, easy to use and download and free! it gives you the ip address of who opened up your email, which you then look up to see where their server is. guess where his was.....Nigeria.....same as where he wanted me to send his money! a little far from Indiana me thinks. will stick closer to home from now on.....besides, i am only looking for some fun, innocent fun, not a life time commitment - no more marriage for me.....but would love to have a mail companion every once in a while. i love reading your posts and answers and especially look for a few of yours' (no names) as they are so funny. i need a good laugh every once in a while, so i come here.
