Has anyone on here ever been the victim of online dating scammers?

If so, please contact me and let me know what happened. For those of you not familiar with this type of thing, an online dating scammer, also known as a romance scammer, will often use a photo that is not actually theirs. They will also claim to live in the US, but once contact is made, they will then tell you that they are currently working in another country, mainly Nigeria, but sometimes the UK. They will talk to you for a while, send you beautiful letters and poetry, and after a while they will ask you for money. If anyone on here has ever dealt with this kind of thing, please contact me.

Answer:
There is a yahoo group for people who were stupid enough to fall for that. I think it is called romance scams or scammers.

It's really hilarious because all the scammers used photos from some Hawaiian modeling website, and all these women suddenly believed that these Hawaiian supermodels were in love with them after chatting on IM for about 10 minutes. Yeah, right, lol.

The men told some obviously fake stories and the women immediately sent them money and began cashing fake checks for them.

I have never seen such a large group of people with absolutely no common sense or brains assembled in one place at one time.

Before I went to that site, I felt bad for these women but after hearing their stories . I couldn't believe what idiots they all were.
NO!
Why would I start giving my money to someone random.
no, not me, but thanks for the heads up. Never send money to anyone.
