Just When You Think You Are In Love

Yes, I'm going to be the one throwing the cold towel on whoever you are here and remind you that you could be scammed if you are not careful with your relationships and habits online. Complacency is probably what I would deem as the root of these falls and I sure hope that you will take sometime reading the article I've strenuously attached. Just had a worker in the office who got herself U$3000 poorer because her American boyfriend had gotten into "some kinda trouble" with the law and needed a short term loan. Well to cut the long story short, the loan was not a short term but the relationship was because the other party is not contactable since he had gotten his remittance. Anyway, let me say that you've been warned and I hope that you will fall in love with your brains instead of listening to your brainless heart for a while. It pays to come to your senses, take a moment when some things don't make sense. Stop when there's a red light don't try to beat it. Get a grip and be safe out there. Have a great weekend and I certainly wish you well socially. Life can be a bed of roses just remember how to make it sleep worthy.

A bed of roses can hide thorns, is better to be vigilant all the time.

Well said here! Ignorance is certain not blissful especially when we all have our own limits.

A lot of Filipinos too has been scammed by their foreigner partners they met online . It should be that the moment the other party asks for money , you should be doubtful already . Be wise when online .

Sometimes we couldn't blame them since they (victims) are really very lonely and just seems to find the comfort that they seek from these cons. These days I shudder to guess what or who would be at the other end and just would not like to place my trust that easily at all.

People now days fall with their loins instead of even their hearts. They jump in bed before they hardly know a person's name. Then wonder why things don't work out. Those red lights/flags mean something.

I suppose like real traffic lights on our roads some people simply could not comply and will try to break the law by willfully crossing it when they should stop briefly.

We read so much of this sort of thing going on that people must have been living under a stone to fall for it.

They could be stubbornly illogical at that moment of bliss, since love is unconventional.

I have to say that I don't have the answer here as such the generation of this post to create an awareness and hopefully prevent another incident from happening to any of us here.

True. Online relationships are mostly just pretends. There are some ended with their happily ever after but mostly are just preying for victims. Sad reality though.

It is a known fact the majority of the identities online are in fact pseudos and as such already clearly telling us not to believe the other side easily.
