*Pamela Wareing from Blackpool thought she was sending money to her lover
*But the mother-of-one actually transferred more than £500,000 to a con-man A woman became so infatuated with a man she met on an Internet dating site she stole over half a million pounds to send to him. . http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4324922/Lonely-heart-sent-half-million-pounds-man.html |

There's also the possibility that this is a cover and she has the money salted away somewhere.

Good point, Foinavon, six years and out in three. Would you do that for half a million tax free?
|

By:
1.01 she's a catfish!

Not now, Gallivanter, wouldn't want to die in prison but 20 years ago, perhaps...

Could be a theme for a short story...
 |
|
By:
Sorry to hear that, Foinavon.
|
|
By:
Not the short story, the three year bit. Oh s0d it. I'll do a fortnight for five grand.
|
|
By:
No, nothing like that Gallivanter. I'm at an age when six years would be a fair chunk of what might be left of worthwhile life and prison would probably finish me off.

If you do go just stand on a table during dinner and announce "I'm the daddy now" and you'll be fine.

I've seen the inside of a cell from both sides and neither side was pleasant. The ones in the states were the scariest and I was the guy with the key there.

why would a girl that attractive be emailing a random bloke who could be fat sweaty and ugly and broke asking for love before even meeting him?
1.01 it's an indian named roger |

Nothing wrong with that, Indian food is much more appealing

You are full of joy happiness and love and I have fallen madly in love with you. You give me hope in life to end this dreadful lonliness. It will be a great feeling for the both of us to have someone to come home too...` |

This is a humorous, but long,read....
.http://www.419eater.com/html/john_boko.htm It does occur, of course, that the entire thing is made up! |

To reiterate. Ian has no intention of paying this young lady/scammer £280 until he has proof it is the young lady. I suggested he contact her by Skype or Messenger, using my iphone, as he is not clued cup on computers, and can't really ask his IT savvy son for assistance. I could assist him there, with some assistance for me. At least, if it is a scam which it very likely is, he's wasted a lot of their scamming time.

Wouldn't that be a bit awkward Kenny? You helping him Skype I mean. Presumably he will be naked?

Why don't you email her saying you got her email off an Internet cafe owner and you are looking for love.
See how that transpires. |
