Replies to '11/23 Love Scams?'

I was not even on a dating site when I was contacted for the first time by such men and women.  The first time was on a roommate web site. I was looking for a roommate for the second bedroom in my condo. I instinctively knew something was wrong with the e-mails. Some were too good to be true. Some were too quick to say I love you and others were asking bold questions or asking for too much information. They were always coy about themselves until they need money or help. I got wise to them rather quickly after the third person to contact me. I think what saved me from them was the lack of money. That may not sound like alot of sense but I have very little money and I also do not have a job that pays well. I am very afraid to part with money because I really do not have a safety net to fall back on. What would happen to me if they do not make good on their debt to me? I always have to think about that before I could consider helping some one with money. Time I have got but money, NO! Everyone who knows me will not ask for money because they know my situation and they are respectful of it. I also run inter-net contacts by my friends and if they see a pattern or something out of place. If anything is out of place or does not sound right they will tell me. With all relationships I wait as long as it takes for the real person to surface.
