Hi Tidea Janamori,

This unfortunately happens to many women on Facebook, Google plus, online dating sites, these men will say all these beautiful things to you to “woo” you, they will say how much they want to be with you, how much they need you, they want to spend the rest of their life with you. These men are very patient. It has also happened to me.

Once they know they ” have you” like infatuation, or falling in love, they will make up some strange stories, crisis or excuse and either ask you to wire them money, or even come and meet you, take the money, never to be seen again. This is called Catphishing, or the 411 Nigerian scam. Google it, to learn more about it, or go to scam watch dot org. These men prey on unsuspecting women who they feel are vulnerable, lonely. They tend to prey alot on middle aged women. I would be very careful about meeting men on Facebook, and please don’t give a man money, because you will never see that man or your money again. Its been all over the news. Facebook, is now trying to get “fake” profiles, and be more proactive about reporting scammers, but they are hard to catch, because they work in cyber cafes, and change their profiles about 20 times a day, steal other people pictures on the internet, and change their e-mail address. Be very careful..
