parrotandcrow that sounds entertaining! The scammer baiting, not your friend's situation obviously.

Cris I agree, I think there are more than one chatting to me as the same person. A lot of the time they sound just like an ordinary, American person, the all of a sudden it will be, 'How are you today, my dear?' and referring to Aberdeen as being in 'the Scotland'. π

Today I went to see my friend Tina who is in a home. She cannot go to her own home, mainly due to family problems which would make it unsafe for her. She was crying, she was so lonely when I turned up. I'm taking her out for lunch tomorrow and then down to the river so that she can feel like a person for a little while. Tonight, to cheer myself up I'm going to talk to the scammer who has no idea that I am perfectly aware of who/what he is. He contacted me about a week ago, thinking I'm a vulnerable old woman who will fall into a dating trap and ultimately hand over my life's savings. I keep making him wait a day or two for replies, and am being very friendly and very unhelpful. I give it two weeks until he admits that he is in love with me, and then a couple of days later will have a mysterious banking malfunction expecting me to send him a loan πππππ I had decided to block him earlier as being not worth my time, but now I'm cross enough at what is happening with Tina that I think I will bat my virtual eyelashes at him tonight and up the game a bit. If I don't get bored or rumbled too quickly, I might get a story out of it. Go Maggie, glad you've got your defences up at the max ... I've been a fool for what I mistook for love all my life, and have failed relentlessly (one lives in hope but is constantly disappointed, by oneself and others) ... so far ... F'kin humans [of both gender]). Glad your're proceeding with extreme caution and have good boundaries. Also, go through that rigorous testing procedure and never give up on the core idea, that genuine peeps are out there too. Yet to find one - they're like that proverbial diamond/pot of gold I reckon. Wishing you all the best sweet heart. You deserve someone truly genuinely wonderful in your life ... may The Force Be With You. Big Love, J x oh and keep writing your fabulous works ... you're a treasure
