“$500,000 to someone you’ve never met? What colossal stupidity.”

It never pays to be naive or desperate, or both.

These people are clever.
My sister met who she thought was a nice guy, he had always wanted a family so was “thrilled she had three kids and twenty grandchildren”.....blah blah blah.
He sent her little gifts, but my sis said there was something just not right.
When she told him, she wasn’t ready to date, he started harassing her.
The site blocked the guys account, with in days she received a wink from a different guy - same pic same story.
The site blocked him, returned her fee for the service, gave her a free membership - she said no thanks
Point is this guy probably goes from site to site setting up fake untraceable account hoping for a hit with a sucker.

I HATE sites that anywhere you happen to click loads some more damned crap. This one is one of them. Being in SF, there is no telling how many poor Gerbil stories you’ll come upon.

Suffice it to say, she didn’t earn that money. Her dumbass dead husband did, I’ll bet. He was a fool to give her access to the money, and she was a fool to think some guy on the internet wanted her. Dumbasses.

Hard to believe someone would be stupid enough to lend money to a Scotsman . . .

Reminds me of an old joke.

Did you know that copper wire was invented by accident? It seems a Scotsman and a Dutchman spied a penny on the ground the same time, picked it up simultaneously and neither would let go.
