You might want to do a web search on 'dating scams'. There is a ton of excellent information on the internet. Nothing wrong with a little education, right? Just remember the biggie. He's decided to come and visit you - oh no! he had (a) Car trouble (b) Trouble at the airport (c) Robbed at the hotel (d) Kid is sick & needs medicine, fast! Anything that involves you sending money. Otherwise, best of luck & hope you met the prince (after all those frogs).
Here is what you NEED to hear. In an online dating situation? Here are the three warning signs of a scam. (1) The person falls in love with you VERY quickly. (2) Suddenly, there is an emergency (what? take your pick) (3) They want you to send them money. Just be aware of the fact that your new boyfriend could be someone sitting at an internet cafe in Nigeria. As soon as they 'need' money - bail! Romance scams work for one simple reason: You want to believe it's real.
I understand that. Have come across quite a few scammers. Yes what you are saying is correct. This one, however, is doing it differently. Some things are red flags to me, like the scammers in the past have done, and other things are like ok, he is for real. So now I am confused as to whether he is or not. I just want to make sure before I tell him to take a hike. :) By the way thank you for your reply to me.
