KIPAX · 17-07-2006, 11:39

Nagh wouldnt be whatsisname. i think we all know who.. ...just no one wants to say

Madhatter · 17-07-2006, 12:38

well there's me but I'm not from accy lol
it may be cynical but it's true.
You can get paranoid though, and you'd never trust anyone online enough to be friends with them, I can be like that sometimes, depends where you meet them online I think.

silver hear all see all say f*** all is what i live by, its more than dodgy trusting anyone online who will not come upfront,what lettie,kipax etc say is good sound advice,also agree with katex, drop him like a sack of king edwards. apart from all that hiya.

Madhatter · 17-07-2006, 15:16

you could just stay friends online.
I personally tend to do as cashman says now, I'd never trust anyone that seems to have a possible but unlikely excuse now.
He may be cautious of you too though remember.
I don't want us to put you off, if this could turn out to be something really worthwhile though. Thats why I say you have to trust so much.

Hi everybody,
Seems I might have stirred the pot on this one. Well, just for an update. I have found out for sure he has been lieing to me, so I did as advised and told him where he can go. So for those of you who knows of someone that says he works in public relations for Save the Children Foundation and he wants you to make a donation by Western Union Money Transfer, it is a scam. I emailed someone at Save the Children. I also forwarded the response I received from them to the man himself. I don't think I'll be hearing from him again. I want to thak everyone for your great advise.

Len · 17-07-2006, 22:31

Thanks for that and sorry it hadn't worked out but theres plenty of time yet.
Good luck.

Well, I was wrong. He did IM me. I was told I was falsely accusing him of being a con-man. Of course, he turned it around so that I was apoligizing to him. I'm such a dork. So the saga continues......

Western Union is enough to set off every alarm in the world. I know it does have a valid use for soem but it must be the most abused system in the world.

PS, I actually nearly wet myself a few months ago when watching teh African cup of nations football. One of the major sponsors of Nigeria was Western union!

(For those who aren't fully net savvy, there is a scam called the 419 Nigerian that was the first major scam to use WU.)

Sorry, Silver, but you said it yourself, you are behaving like 'a dork' .. seems you now know he is not truthful and you apologising.
