I must hang my head in shame and say that I did send some money for 'necessaries' before I was told/became wise to 'scammers.'
Is 'scammers' the right word? Extortion springs to mind - I would love to go as far as 'criminals' but I (for obvious reasons) cannot.
I have learned lessons the hard way - thankfully, the amount I sent was very low.
I think that God has paid me back with the most beautiful girl in the world! I count myself SOOOOOO lucky!
Al.
P.S. I wish all the male guys on here the same luck as I have had.
