Re:I scare myself -- (Score 1)

sorry...but I forgot to mention the OTHER scary part: my mother was recently telling me about a woman she works with who had met a guy online. she helped him move to the States from Australia, let him live with her, bought a car with him in his name, took out a $10,000 loan to help him start a business, came home from work one day and found him GONE. No car, none of the really expensive tools he bought to run his business...nothing. Plus she found recent email on her machine from another woman in Canada telling the crud-ball she couldn't wait for him to show up so they could meet ftf! Needless to say, she alerted the other woman, but she's still out about $30,000 and an emotional wreck.
