I'm going to make this short because I have replied to enough of people with the same concept as you. Ok you married a ADULT you dated an ADULT you felt in love with an ADULT you married an ADULT anyone in their 20's are consider an ADULTS because they have maturity under their belts and a little life experiences under their belts. I'm trying to paint you a picture do you see my master piece? anyone under is consider a CHILD. They have  a little maturity under their belts and they have no life experiences under their belts. They can't even buy a legal drink. Do you see the big picture One is just a big picture hanging up on the wall and the other one is a MASTER PIECE.... ...... ARE YOU KEEPING UP....... OK....MATURITY big word "ADULT" .......IMMATURITY big word CHILD"   Now a 18 year old a 24 year old DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE??????? Yes a line must be drawn because she is still mentally developing into a women. If your daughter, or son were dating a 40 year old and they were only 18 years old, how would you feel. What would a 40 year old women want with your son? what would  your son have to offer a 40 year old women just in conversation alone, or financially? Now reverse that with your daughter with a 40 year old man? I'm very  happy for you, and you made a wise decision. Your in a long lasting relationship and marriage because you married an ADULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and not a CHILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG DIFFERENCE...............you got yourself a MASTER PIECE YOU GO GIRL GOOD FOR YOU

Why is it that people get mad when the truth is being told?because the truth hurts,his friend Mike was just trying to get the truth in........even if he was crude,he has obviously been through alot with sanjay and does not want to see his friend get hurt......It has nothing to do with jealousy,Mike looked like he can get some WOMEN!And is man enough to know the difference!The reason Sanjay din;t tell him to shut up and pretty much just sat there and laughed ,he knew Mike was telling the truth.

Anything is possible. My husband said he knew almost instantly as well, I didn't. We have a wonderful relationship and have been married over 6 yrs. Maybe you haven't found that kind of love yet or maybe you're not suppose to. Either way it goes, weirder things have happened. I just don't think you should write off another persons life just because you don't or can't see it.

 Dear Dr. Phil:
I understand it doesn't feel so great to be scammed. In reality, if you lose a couple of bucks, so what!!!!! I think it's great that you use your show and power and influence to get the jerks that scammed you. What about the rest of us?????!!!!! Just recently my husband and I were scammed out of nearly $400.00 Canadian. In your world this is maybe $1.00 but in our world, it is making the difference between our 3 kids getting Christmas or not and right now if things don't change, it seems far more likely that they will not. I have all kinds of information on the jerks that scammed us but ABSOLUTELY NO ONE gives a crap. The scammers live in the UK and I live in Canada. Our local and even provincial authorities refuse to help us unless the scammers live in our direct community.  have tried in vain to contact the authorities in the UK, but no luck so far. As for setting up a sting, it would be so easy to catch these guys as they use Wester Union to collect the money, but, again no one is willing to help us. Well, I'm sure you've heard the old saying "money talks, bullshit walks" Welcome to the humble world of the extremely lower class.
Sincerely,
Ann Fournier

 Am I ever glad to see this topic.  I have wanted to tell someone about this for so long, but my mother-in-law (using MIL for short) was so ashamed that she did not want the small town she lives in to know.  Here is her story the best that I can relay it:

After shopping at a local Wal-Mart 20 miles from her home, she returned to her car at which time a woman jumped in the passenger side door and said she had found some money, approximately $100,000 and wanted to know if my MIL  would share it with her.  Of course, my MIL told her "no" that she did not want any part of it.  After talking for a while, the woman told her that she needed to meet with a lawyer across the street and want MIL to take her over there in the car.  MIL took her over to this what she was told was the lawyer's office.  The scammer took her around the back way and had MIL park on the west side of the building.  The building ends up being Cracker Barrell and MIL never realized that until a week later when she took us to the "lawyer's office."  The scammer asked MIL to wait in the car and she would be right back.  She waited, as ordered, and upon the scammer's return, had MIL take her back to Wal-Mart, had MIL give her her address and phone number, and left.  MIL told us, her son and myself, of the incident several days later, and we both warned her not to participate in any phone conversation with a stranger nor answer the door to any stranger.

One month later, there was a knock on her country home's carport door.  She looked out to see three people; a black male, white male, and white female.  They flashed badges at her saying they were the FBI investigating a scam that happened at the Wal-Mart in the local town where she had shopped.  The white male and female forced themselves into the house and the black male returned to the van.  They convinced her that they were legal and not to fear.  Even had her sign a paper saying she would cooperate.  They spent two days brain-washing her saying they needed her to check money out of her checking, savings, and any other accounts to test the money to see if it had anything to do with the scam.  She should have called us, but they warned her not to call us or anyone as it would harm the investigation.

On Day 2, they showed up at her house and went to four of her banks where she had two checking accounts and two savings accounts with CD's in them.  Upon talking with the bank employees later that afternoon, they said they thought it was strange that MIL would be in there asking for money, but gave it to her anyway without questions other than one of the clerks said she would escort her to the car for safety.  MIL refused the help.  After MIL got the money, she met the black male behind a convenience store and gave him the money.  He told her the other two had asked him to meet her and get the money'; that they were not able to get there in time.  Shortly after giving him the money, the white female showed up and got in the driver's seat of MIL's car.  She started taking MIL home and got about 15 miles down the road at which time she told MIL that the men in the van were flashing their lights at them and she needed to see what they needed.   She pulled over, went back to the van, returned to MIL's car and put a manilla envelope in the glove box.  Scammer lady told her not to open the envelope until 1:00 p.m.  MIL returned home and waited until 1:00 to open the glove box.  At that time, she found napkins in the envelope and realized she had been scammed. 

MIL called us immediately hollering and crying saying "I've been had."  We rushed down to the little town, first calling the Sheriff's office as well as the local Police.  When we got there 1-1/2 hours later, the Sheriff was there talking to her.  The Sheriff's office tried to get fingerprints, but to no avail.  They were very clever.   Bless her heart, she was scared to death. 

After the Sheriff's investigation, the FBI was called who has done very little to help with the whole ordeal.  I've called them several times, but to no avail.  They came out I believe the next day and also tried to lift some fingerprints.  Nothing showed up from the reports though.  They did do some investigation such as obtaining videos from the convenience store, from a Burger King, where the lady had driven by to get a hamburger with MIL in the car, and even at the local Kentucky Chicken drive through.  They did, however, come to her house on two occasions wanting her to identify the woman and black man.  She identified the black man and that is the last we have heard from them.  It has been well over one year since we have been informed of any new developments and believe me, I have called several times leaving messages, but nobody will return my messages. 

MIL is so embarrassed about the whole incident saying why was she so stupid, and why didn't she call us.  Oh, my goodness, if she had called us, we might could have been there with the police and caught the sorry idiots. 

Just wanted to share this with you.  Feels good to finally get to tell someone that it seems makes a difference.  Of course, our family knows, but very few people outside know anything about it.

It is making me sick all you people who are posting for poeple to use their common sense. 

 

My best friend is the smartest person I know.  She graduated top of her class graduated college at the top of her class and so forth.  But she has no common sense.  Most of the studies state that if you are very smart that common sense is hard to come by.  She will believe anything anyone tells her and would fall for a scam just like this in a heartbeat.

 

So you have the common sense does that mean that you are book stupid?

 

Common people it is nobodies fault that they fell for a scam except the scammers themselves.

1 st time was for money to get him out of a jam , all money was stolen from he job sites, via a empleyee, who was mexican, and dissappeared, so because he was site manager of the project, he needed 400.00 for atty to go to court with him to get out of this mess  so i sent it 428.00 via western union.

 

2nd time  he needed 1,200 dollars to pay fine for money being stolen, from job site , and because he trusted the mexican and let him have key to ofice where money and supplies where kept he wa found guilty. i sent him another 428.00 towards that via western union. Job was completed and he was paid 28,0000 dollars in money orders , and he wanted me to cash those here and snding the money back to him i didnt get involved with that becasue i had seen dr phil show, and he says that payment was written  on american money orders and couldnt be cashed there, Thats when a flag went up for me . And he is still needed to get these cashed and come back to be here with me ,
