There is an article today on MSNBC about romance scams:

http://redtape.msnbc.com/

It discusses an elderly woman who sent an estimated $10,000 to "Michael", and who got help from "romancescams.org"

from the romancescams.org website :

$ 11,244,371.30 - 976 people reporting

That's the money lost by just the people reporting their figures.
About $11,000 per person.
current membership over 16,000.

There are links to photos and a scammers database for those of you who do love scammer baiting.

But no links to here or Scamwarners.

What's really sad is that those who try to help -friends, relatives, etc. become the enemy to victims who are throughly convinced that they have something real in front of them. People long to be loved, or be rich, or to help the needy, and sadly, there are people low enough to exploit these needs.
