About catfishing: There is a friend of mine here in town WHO WAS MARRIED but fooling around on dating sites because she was bored with her husband.
(Yeah, I know)
Anyway, She met and went out with many men. Then she found THE ONE on line. They had a hot passionate affair on line.
He said he was "stuck in England" and needed $500 to pay someone he owed money before he could leave for the states.
She sent it. A few months later of hot romance, he said he had to pay a friend $1200 for some equipment in England.
Could he borrow it? he will ABSOLUTELY pay her back in two weeks because he has money coming in and then
they can be together! She sent it.
He called her and told her he finally had all the money to pay her back. How can he send it so her husband doesn't find out?
Of course! He asked for her bank account number and he will wire it in direct deposit. She gave it.
Next afternoon, she went to the bank to see if it was deposited.
Her bank account was wiped out. Her husband's business account was emptied. Their mutual account was emptied!
Her husband divorced her right away. She moved in with her sister and is bankrupt. and heartbroken.
