All the more reason for every family to have separate bank accounts. One for husband, one for wife, and one common for the family. Don’t pour everything into just one account together, so you always have some personal security in case things go wrong. And you won’t always have to ask each other all the time when you want to buy some little things for yourself. Less pressure.

I’m sorry for this lady, very very sorry. She’s from that generation when women weren’t taught what red flags to look for.

I’m sure this weird guy showed signs of being a sociopath and an addict before this day trading, gambling etc started.

Well, they amassed over $1 million before this all started, so the gullibility appears to be a recent thing. However, you're right about people not being taught what to look out for, especially a few decades ago.

[@meganod279]

I disagree with your comment. He doesn't seem to have been an addict, if he was he would had never summed so much cash. He developed it after he retired though, which is possibly a sign that he wanted to live more lavishly and he hoped to be a multimillionaire by doing trading. Usually, that happens to people who worked hard throughout their life and are not feeling satisfied with the amount of money they made. Also I wouldn't really call him weird, he just seems not happy with life.

[@happydayz7857]

MEGANOD ! He is totally weird! Also,he’s an imbecile to fall for those online dating scam artists. He can’t decipher the red flags even with his business acumen.... he was a millionaire at one point. That doesn’t make sense. It’s tru that certain triggers can set off some psychosis. Definitely true. I just think he’s been a ticking time bomb for years and there were probably warning signs of his... instability? Lack of critical thinking skills? I don’t know what to call it really.

[@meganod279]

@@happydayz7857 I agree that he is dumb, who would even give so much money to so many women that he don't even know.

Karen Collyer being a prince or princess does not necessarily mean you’re loaded in Nigeria so he could be right. My best friends are from royalty (well known) but are working class people working hard at a job and paying their bills. They are princesses a few times removed from the throne.

Stubbornness, don't believe scamming - at least not on your own. When life is boring, chat will cheer up, escape from daily life. A revenge or on purpose give away money.

I asked her to video talk but she said her camera was broken. I asked her to send me pictures while we were talking and she could only send those I’d already seen on her profile. Basically the only thing attractive about them are hot pictures and they don’t have anything else to lure you. They don’t have talking skills or strategies, no preconditions, no stories true enough to make people believe, no capability to answer some serious questions so basically it’s just some pictures out there. I grew up in the world scam center. You have no idea how scammers there scam people.
