    Re: Just a friendly reminder!!!

    I first ran into one of those people a few years back on another board. A guy was posing as a divorced woman who was having financial and emotional problems. A lot of people got very emotionally involved and eventually sent donations before he/she was found out.

    This is the first time I have ever seen the problem defined. I really do appreciate the warning.

      I've run into too many "trolls" on the Internet that I don't even like remembering all of them. Lesson learned with a couple of people who weren't who/what they presented themselves to be. Good thread.

        Hi

        You know reading this made me go cold! I am pretty naive and really like to think the best of people (unless i take a dislike to them of cause lol).

        I am glad i read it as it would never even occur to me that people do this kind of thing, and to what end?

        Really it always shocks me some peoples behavior!

        I belong to another forum and occasionally we do get that kind of thing on there but its a professional forum so its pretty easy to catch out someone who is swinging the leg on there, but you have to have the suspicion in the first place eh? something i am not good at!!
        Kind regards
