Web love quest man loses �16,000
A man from Kent is �16,000 poorer after falling in love with two women over the internet and waiting at airports five times for them to turn up in the UK.
"There's many times that I literally cry my heart out and there are times when I felt I didn't want to live any more," he said.

Very sad. I don't often look in the Love / Dating Scams forum but the work there is very important. |

You'd think after the second time he'd realise something was wrong. FIVE times? |

As opposed to a career criminal then? |

Stories like this make me really angry.
Despite all the time and effort we've spent baiting and winding up these vlads there are still obviously some of them that are very succesful and making a living out of their ill gotten gains.
I guess it's time to stick it back to them with another round of e-mails... |

Unfortunately I don't think that others will take note. Just like when we were kids, we had this feeling of being invulnerable and the number of kids who died or were seriously injured in car crashes were, and still remain, pretty bad. A victim will be possibly be thinking 'that it's aweful that this happened, thank god for INSERT NAME OF LOVE SCAMMER HERE'. Because experience shows that most bad things happen to someone else and never to me, until you are proven wrong. |

I don't know. Two women? He fell in love for them at the same time? If they were real maybe the news would be about something else. |

I am really shocked and almost in a state of confusion to hear about your boy friend's death.
I feel very pity and sorry for you and myself too because the news gave me a shock.

I used to be a fatalist, but fatalism is very much like making love to a beautiful woman...you know it's going to happen eventually and you just have to accept the inevitable consequences. |
