Dear Tracy:

You are welcome. I am sorry that you were scammed online, and that you were scammed numerous times. It is very sad that people take unfair, dishonest advantage of other people. It happens a lot, to a lot of people (including myself) and it breaks my heart that it happens at all: I wish it never happened!

Please take all the precautions needed so that it never happens to you again! But like I suggested in my previous post, stating these suspicions on an introductory profile on a dating site is likely to turn good men away, and get the unwanted attention of those who will try take advantage of you, if given the chance.

“I and my late husband worked hard” – honor all that hard work, honor yourself and your late husband by being very discerning as to whom you invite into your life.

You are a PSW, a Personal Support Worker. I can understand that you want to meet an independent man who will be your best friend and travel companion. Understandably, you don’t want to meet a man who will be an (unpaying) client who will take advantage of your PSW skills! By being discerning and cautious, you can weed out unsuitable men and locate one who is suitable (you only need the one!)
