Hi ...um ... can anyone loan me some money?
I'd be happy to but unfortunatly, all I have is this money order for $10,000 and no local bank account to deposit it in. I'll give you $1000 free and clear, with no payback, if you'll just wire cash for the additional 9K back to me.

Shoot, I'll even buy you a coffee.

The pie is the deal breaker for me. Would there be pie?

OK then.

But feel free to resent her if she doesn't offer to pay for the pie. I really mean that, I have no access to American pies and it's disgraceful that someone who does should not be fully prepared to treat you to the odd slice. Absolutely disgraceful. What kind of pie would it be?
Humble pie?

Otherwise, it's nothing more than narcissistic pie with no sense of personal responsibility. All of my pies can feel entitlement, but it must be coupled with a sense of purpose and at least a little pie drive. I'm not attached to false truisms. The pie can be creamy or crusty. But I won't settle for just a piece. The arrogance. Piece meal will not do. A little humility people, that's all I'm asking. A little humble pie.

I posted an article here about a woman in my community who was s c a m m ed at Match.com. Post never made it through the mod process. Are we not allowed to warn people about this for some reason?

Guy is likely a Nigerian ... he's swi ped the real identity of one Jack Harper and is still trolling at Match .com for more would-be victims. Our newspaper did a story on his unsuccesful attempt to s c a m a local reader and we got a call from some woman on the East Coast who'd been a victim. Cleaned her out of $82,000. She's still trying to catch him.

It works like most of these sc.ams do. Some lonely woman or guy thinks maybe they've found someone who could be The One but when you try to set up a meet, he or she is in some kinda dire emergency and needs a "loan." s/He'll pay you back as soon as s/he makes it to the states.

Only more and more problems keep occurring ad infinitum until finally the victim wises up and realizes they're out a lot of cash and they ain't found true love.
Really??? I'm devastated. I was hoping all those foreign guys who filled my inbox with stilted words of love when my profile was a featured eHa profile were interested in Green cards. Now I find that just looked at my photo and thought, "she looks like a likely chump." How disappointing. I rejected their marriage proposals for the wrong reasons.

Perhaps because your post was about another website - this is eHarmony advice, they may not be happy with you mentioning the competition (even in a negative way.)

That said, never send money to someone you've never met.
Unless maybe your mother has met them in person and vouches for them. But even then you should think twice about it.

That particular scam tactic is so old I'm surprised there are still people who fall for it.
Until I remember how many desperately lonely and foolish people there are out there.

"A fool and their money..."
I can believe it. There are some seriously lonely people in this world and they are desperate to believe they've found love. I didn't post the entire article. It's not like she fell for this overnight. This was a long con.
