I used to feel terrible about the love scams, but after a while, I stopped. Here's why:
First of all, many of the men and women who fall for them SOUND so nice while we're relaying, but that doesn't mean they ARE nice. I had one man I'd relayed for, quite a few times, completely surprise me one night. He was always so sweet on the phone, so lonely, wanting his nigerian gf to be with him, etc etc. Then he broke off into a speech about how a woman's place is at home, and she had better not have ideas about going anywhere. She would only be leaving the house WITH HIM, when HE took her somewhere. She was to stay indoors or within the yard unless he gave her permission to do otherwise, etc etc. It went on from there. He wasn't looking for love, he was looking for a slave.
Then there was the woman who agreed to send her "love" money, even though she would be sacrificing funds that were supposed to be for her daughter's prom dress. She actually said "I have a couple hundred dollars saved up for my daughter to get a nice prom dress, but I can send that, she can find something else." Now, I'm not saying her daughter NEEDS a fancy prom dress, but DAMN, putting some guy she never met before her own kid????? Sick sick sick. When you've become that desperate, you need to reevaluate your priorities.
I think so many people fall for these things because they act like finding love is the end-all solution to their problems. Perhaps they should focus on something else for a while. They also act like they found this miracle-on-line, who loves them even if they're unattractive, stupid, a total jerk...you get the idea. I always wanted to say "Listen, did you ever stop to ask yourself why this attractive, sweet person in Africa has fallen madly in love with you? Isn't that odd? You were so desperate now the PERFECT person has come along? How likely is that?."
The ones I did always feel sorry for though, were the ones who genuinely sounded like they had mental disabilities. There were a couple that I was pretty sure were living in group homes, or had alzheimer's. You could just tell they were missing some pieces upstairs. In which case, who was watchign them? Where are their families? or caregivers?
