DO NOT GIVE UP
Quote From: fighter9I have learned that only by educating yourself about these guys can you ever hope to trust. Also, speaking OUT about them - do not suffer in silence - take back your pride!!
It really upsets me when I hear women (and men) say "Oh THAT would NEVER happen to ME!! I am too smart for that!!" One of the women on this show? Sandra? Is a very highly educated lady.
To read more about predators you should also visit a couple sites where one of the Con Men on the show is talked about:

For me I will NEVER date again. I was conned by someone I had known for 27 years!!! A friend!! He used his long standing acquaintance with me to get my trust and prey on myself and my friends. Afraid to trust - says it all. The person I trust the least? ME!!
(personally anyone who does online dating these days, especially now that Match.com is being sued, is taking a horrible chance) Don't give up. I was by myself for 5 yrs after my husband died. Join a fraternal organization, church, singles groups. Play Bingo! Do not, I mean Do Not stay home by yourself and brood. Go to a exercise class, or maybe a senior center, volunteer and do something for someone else. You cannot meet people if you don't get out. You have to trust your judgement and do not take people on face value, give yourself time to know a little about them. Ask questions, where do they work, what do they do for hobbies, do they dance, drink, go to church. The more you know the better judge you will be. Besides it lets them know you are interested in them. Good Luck
