I lost $1 million in online dating scam

[BD231]

Sounds to me like this woman would have been better off with a loser like me

“The guys were losers,” she recalled. “Some asked for money within a week of meeting online.”

But when she logged on to the site on November 14, 2010, one message spoke to her soul.

“I am in search of a long term relationship that…hopefully will lead to marriage…I’m willing to give my entire heart to that special lady…”

The whole entire thing he says, that's how you get rich chicks.

He said his name was Eric Cole, a British widower with one son, Talk2Me55 claimed. He had a PhD in education, traveled widely and lived a life guided by his Christian faith, a critical attribute for Debby, a Mormon whose husband had died five months earlier.

In the office of her tidy home west of Lake Worth, she scrutinized his photo. It showed a tall, muscular, middle-aged man in a blue t-shirt, baseball cap and sunglasses.

“So handsome,” she thought. Her friends agreed.

“Debby was all giggly,” her best friend, Denise Rosenberg, remembers.

During the next 22 months, Eric and Debby wrote each other almost every day.

“It was incredible to fall in love again at my age,” said Debby. “It was like being 16 again. Over the months, he became my whole life.”

Sounds nice do go on ....

She never suspected he would take more than $1 million from her in an online dating scam, then disappear somewhere in Nigeria.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA OMG HE'S BLACK OMG

In this day in age I doubt she didn't know, I mean, c'mon .... So what do you say, did she know? Or is she full of sh*t ?

Nobody could be this dumb. She's trying to sell a book. She lost $25k tops.

If you have $1m to spend on anything, how would you not hop on a plane at some point in 22 months to meet this dude? I mean, isn't that a good idea? Isn't the UK nice? Wouldn't you want to get laid or something?

Why? She is broke now.

The article said she had to borrow a significant portion from her family, I'd wager that spigot is turned off when it comes to "I need money to send to a guy".

Speaking on behalf of everyone here: Nope. She would not have been.

There's a sucker born every minute. I have no pity for such assery these stupid woman are.

 

[Skunk-Works]

My mom watches Dr. Phil and she sees these suckers all the time. It's truly baffling at why people think they need to shell out thousands of dollars.

No kidding, seeing how bad @BD231 is with women and the fact that he will probably start squirting as soon as it hits moisture, I doubt he would do her much good.

I think this story is full of shit. It just cannot be true. Who the hell trusts the ones he meets online? All the more on dating sites. I wonder how was the whole process of scamming, how did he put his hands on 1.000.000$? Trust needs time, it is not built on impressions. I'm aware of that when dating. I don't even let the other women alone in the house. As soon as I go, she leaves my house also. I'm still looking for the one to gain my trust, to make her mine, to wake up and leave her sleeping in my bed, I'm still searching for you. Are you on Blendr? I hope you are but we didn't meet yet. Find me .

Is this a scam in and of itself? Has a gofundme been started yet?

To be fair though - seemingly sane people get duped. My mother, one of the most level headed people you'll ever meet, fell for the "I'm in trouble" scam and sent $2500 dollars to someone.

“I emptied our retirement accounts,” she said, and paid crippling penalties.
She sold her gold jewelry to send Eric $5,000. She took loans on diamond rings. She sold stocks. She juggled business accounts. Eventually, she borrowed $100,000 from her parents to help the man with whom she expected to spend the rest of her life.

damn. so many red flags. i bet her parents and kids are pissed.

“She’s not the kind of girl you could slip things over on.”

Yeah. Sad waste of a million doLAARRRRS.

Serves her right for not donating it to AT forum members so they could all buy 7900 XTX's or the AIO 4090s. Our joyous messages of gratitude would have given her more happiness than any man ever could.
