I met a lady who was caught up in a scam . She knew her “fellow” was a young Doctor ( ha ha) Africa. Now this woman was a retired ( in her 70’s) teacher. She lived in the hotel I managed for a few years . ( I don’t know why, we had several resident guests) she would come to the front telling us all stories of how her young Doctor in Africa was going to send for her as soon as he got things straight. They were buying a mansion there and have servants. She even said if I was nice I could come along as a servant ( riiiiiggghhht). At this time I didn’t know she was sending money to this guy, but figured this was a scam. One of my guys had a family emergency so I took over his shift so he could go. She comes to the office looking for the staff member. She said he helps her take pictures . She asked if I could take pictures of gift cards and send these cards to her Fiancé in Africa. I asked her how long has she been sending this person money.. she stopped and thought then replied at least a year, he needed money for the house he was building them. I told her I believed she was being scammed and wouldn’t help. I saw a sweet , kind , meek woman turn into an emotional wreck. He was going to loose everything and it would be all my fault, blah blah blah. I asked her what was she going to do if she lost everything to this scammer, she started screaming about he loves her and is a man of God. (😳🙄, big red flag) I was going to hell.. she ended up eventually homeless because he told her to send basically everything she had and sell everything but a few clothes he was coming to get her that weekend and fly her back to Africa to their home. She was selling her jewelry that was her mothers ( she said) , what she couldn’t sell she gave away so all she had was a bag of stuff , because he was getting her all new stuff in Africa. He was to arrive by helicopter in the field by the motel, she told him he could land his helicopter there. She was paid up through Saturday. He was supposed to be there.. nope. Then Sunday.. she called him and called him no reply. Then he blocked her. She ended up being evicted due to not being able to pay. She was welcomed to come back once she had the funds to pay rent. We never saw her again. She told the guy she was going to be homeless for a month .. and he kept up with the scam. Worse than seeing these scammers have no empathy was watching her act like a mad woman trying to get these scammers money. Nothing you say could have stopped her from giving this scammer her last dollar. She wanted that fantasy so bad. It comes to a point to where when do you stop feeling sorry for someone you can’t save from themselves.

I agree with you. Whether online or offline, if and when someone asks you for a financial favor of any form, be ready to lose that person from your life. Did you lose someone great? No, because you might have actually gained something called boundaries. But as a lawyer I've seen too many people who got conned via emotional abuse -be it a romantic relationship, friendship and even in their own families! What's also important to note is not to blame the victims even if we think they could have been more careful and cautious. They were emotionally abused and manipulated by someone who approached them wifh sinister intentions & many are left with complex-PTSD and trust issues in their future relationships well after such incident 😞 The world can be cruel and messed up at times.
