“Using Uk Photo Personals? Don’t make the same mistake this guy made”
Don’t make the same mistakes this guy made using uk photo personals.
She rakes in over $10,000 a month simply by writing emails to her virtual male ‘friends.’ Could you be one of those men who are unknowingly tripping over themselves to help make HER wealthier?
Do you enjoy being taken advantage of?
Of course NOT!
Neither do I…
And that’s why I simply refuse to sit around and allow “so-called” women to try and TRICK YOU
into sending them money.
Today I share details about a typical “BAIT AND SWITCH” tactic many scammers use to prey on
un-Savvy guys meeting women online…
You definitely want to BE ON THE LOOKOUT for this one! (I’ve included the story below for your
reading enjoyment).
————————————————————————
MAN LOSES $38,345 IN INTERNET DATING SCAMS
————————————————————————
A man has lost £16,000 ($38,345 in two internet dating scams after sending money overseas to girls
who failed to turn up.
David Hodgkinson, from Margate in Kent, advertised his profile on a variety of internet dating sites and was approached by a Russian woman called ‘Natalia’.Ê
Hodgkinson sent the woman £10,000 (A$23,972) so that she could obtain a visa and purchase a ticket
to fly over and meet him in the UK.
After being given a variety of arrival dates he went to Heathrow to meet her four times but she never arrived.
“I feel no ill in my heart. I did really love her,” Hodgkinson told the BBC.
Hodgkinson then tried a Christian dating site and stared chatting with a woman from Senegal. He sent her £6,000 (A$14,386) but again she failed to turn up.
Hodgkinson borrowed money from his elderly mother and remortgaged his home to pay for the two girls. His mother is now taking out a loan to clear his debts.
“I did tell him off about keeping going to Heathrow,” she said. “In my heart I knew they wouldn’t ever turn up. But he never listened.”
>>> MY COMMENTS:
Stories like this make me sick!
I think to myself, if only I’d had a chance to speak with David (or if he’d gotten my program), he could have so easily have avoided the mess (and $38,345 in debt) he gotten herself into.
Okay… I just want to point out a few things in the story for other guys out there to learn from.
After sending money, and going to the airport not 1 time, not 2 times, not 3 times - but FOUR times, ’she’ never showed up. (maybe thats because there really was no ’she’).
He got burned by this scam one time, then what does he turn around and do?
———————————————————-
HE GOES AND FALLS FOR IT YET AGAIN!
———————————————————-
Poor guy.
I mean c’mon. Would you do the same?
… And to make matters worse, the poor guy went and re-mortgaged his home PLUS borrowed money
from his elderly mom!
(Damn, am I the only one who think this guys chasing just a bit too much?)
Here is yet another example of how the “pros” PREY ON naive guys!
If you think this is a just a rare occurrence, think again!
There are plenty of people out there who are experts at convincing you to part with your hard
earned money.
You’re not going to fall for this are you?
No way!
The second (and VERY important) reason I’m writing you is to point out “hidden lessons” you
can learn from this whole thing.
Here they are:
1. Never send money to ANYONE on any dating website. The moment ’she’
asks for money is the moment you stop communicating with ‘her.’
2. If you get an email from a woman overseas, ESPECIALLY russia or africa,
BE ON THE LOOKOUT.
3. Communicate with women in your LOCAL area. Why waste time talking to
someone who doesn’t live nearby?
Hmmm… something to think about.
