I think most men that go on penpal sites get a few of the begging hard luck story scam requests after a few messages but I thought that after eight months I was safe .

The mistake she made was trying it on with a tight farmer like me, I shed a tear every time I open my wallet!

To be honest she won't get much luck if she keeps using a cut & paste begging message like that, it was so obvious because of the spelling etc compared to her usual messages. I remember reading a thread on here posted by a guy who had a near identical message from his Filipino girlfriend.
