Romance scams

Don’t say they are stupid. These scammers target people that are not in the right place mentally at that particular time. It can happen to anyone.

The funniest is when they have given almost everything they own to someone they have not even video chatted to as a way to verify they actually exist.

People bought gamer girl bathwater. Openly a scam yet they did it anyway. I'd be more concerned with punishing scammers than turning on the victims.

Some people are blue pilled and don't want to accept the true nature of this world. This is why many people hate incel culture, they want to believe that the world is all sunshine and rainbows and that they will meet "the one". The average woman on Tinder has hundreds of matches so you shouldn't even bother playing the game if you are below 7/10 in looks.

I would love to give it the wise old sage and say I wouldve spotted all red flags at a younger age. Im not so sure though. Easy looking back now. People are very duplicitous when theres a potential ring to go on a finger. In the example I gave above there were no blockbuster drug and booz benders before marriage. Sure the term "scam" is up for debate but I'll tell you I thank my lucky stars for my wife every day. She is an angel from heaven compared to what Ive seen up close through people Ive known since our teenage years.

People are delusional.

If someone thinks a person half their age with model looks is really interested in them even though they have never met then they need their head examined.

Exact same here.

I thank my lucky stars every day for your wife too.

It keeps happening despite other cautionary tells from previous victims and TV shows on similar matter e.g. Catfish

Has any of these scammers been found and prosecuted?

They do say "Love is Blind"

Yeah I agree with this. It takes someone treating you badly to burn it into your mind. It seems some learn from it and others are gluttons for punishment.

Technically not a scam - she advertised exactly what was being sent, and they got exactly what they wanted. There was nothing remotely deceptive about it.

Stupid, yes. Scam, no.
