Recently, I decided that I would toss my line in to more than one pond to try to catch more fish, to use an analogy... On one of the other dating sites, I received a communication that I though was pretty decent. We chatted for a while, yet something was amiss at the circle K. Her crammer was HORRIBLE!! Like a third grader was writing it. Then it hit me... "I'll bet this is one of those Nigerian dating and romance scams!!"

Well I did some research, and all of the signs indicated that it was indeed a scam. Now knowing what it was... I decided to play a little bit. (insert evil laugh here!!) I made accusation after accusation of them being a scam artist, as reassurance, they kept saying stuff like "Oh how i want to love be with you arms around me cos i cant wait to see you face again Shawn." I was trying to confirm that they were a scammer... it worked flawlessly!!

Ummm... my name's not Shawn. Well about this time I was no longer amused and shut off communication with this "thing." There was no way to know if it was a real person or not, I've never seen them other than the pictures I've received, no face to face because they "were living in Nigeria with my mom..." Yeah so... just be smart and careful out there. Do your research and look for little thing when communicating with someone. Crammer, obvious errors and inconsistencies in stories, asking for money... advancing the "relationship" uber fast!!

Yeah... before I knew it was Married (again) to this thing... what's a boy to do!!
