    I have told women over and over again. I have dated many men throughout my life and I NEVER had any of them ever asked me for money. Men want to impress women they like and are into by providing for them. I never ever gave any man money. Hardworking men that care about you, will get a second and third job before they ask a woman for money. Please 🛑STOP giving men money and 3 months is not a long time to know someone.
    If a man is asking you for money he does not like you!!!

      I think this scam works best on the soap opera/Harlequin Romance novels generations. Scammers typically use photos of attractive men and women. If you don't match that person's hotness, stop and ask yourself, "Out of all the people in the world, what does a successful and attractive (insert job here) want with me?!" The answer is: YOUR MONEY!

    What’s scares me we have a family member who’s gone through the loss of her spouse 2 years ago. Shes had a difficult time being alone. We’d talked about having her move closer to us. 5 months ago she met a man that has apparently lived in the same community as she and her husband for year. She walks regularly and never seen him before. He suddenly appeared walking on her street with his dog. Fast forward within the first 2 months he was telling her he LOVED her. He’s never been married. There is only a 1 year age difference. Within 3 months he was ready to marry her. She’s fallen for him, happy, not ready to marry but won’t listen to us and our concerns. We don’t know how to approach her at this point without her becoming defensive. She’s very vulnerable senior who could be taken advantage of.
    She tend to share too much as we found early on after her husband died. We’ve had to educate her on simple things on when repair people come to the house not to share you live alone. This boyfriend thing has us really worried.

    A man approached me on line for $ a few yrs. ago after chatting for a few months. My response to him was that if I was going to give anyone $, it would be to my kids. He ultimately admitted he was African, was using a bogus photo & was trying to get $ from me.

    No. Not everyone is susceptible to romance scammers. Some of us know that men like that aren’t looking for a certain type of woman. While others know not to send money. If you don’t send money or allow them to send you any, they will go away. If you’re lonely, why would you want someone who lives somewhere else? I feel sorry for her neighbors who were in jeopardy with her burning house. Also, no, these men are not clever.

Im really more of a friend to her rather than a husband figure.... She was also scammed by her ex husband who has conned over $100k ... I personally blame her lack of critical thinking skills on the fact that she's a disfellowshipped Jehovahs Witness... She's never been encouraged to think or question anything..... Her children and entire family act like she is dead because of that religion.... I feel helpless to help her.
