-Pro
Most dangerous type. Never asks for money, instead waits and earns the trust of the correspondent. Should the correspondent offer her money, she will resist at first, and then finally agree to accept it. They are mind manipulators - usually with good mastery of the English language. They organize phone call sessions or, often, give their mobile numbers to make their correspondents feel more comfortable. Scam could go on for months at a time, with daily personal emails and chats that go on for hours.
I can atest to the validity of this. I even was a victim of such type of scammer in my own country Guatemala.
The infamous woman was someone who worked close to my business. So it happens that someone who knew
her told me that she had been investigating about me as once I bought a juice for her from the guy who sold
her the juices every 2 or 3 days.
After I sent her that juice she didn't respond at all, didn't even say thank you. After a couple of days I saw
her with one of her friends mumbling things about me, she tried to be discreet but it was obvious she was
talking about me as the other person stared at me creepily.
She had also been talking behind my back with her boss, someone who knew my family, not me.
Turns out that when we actually made contact, like 1 or 2 weeks later after the juice, she said
"You know what? I'm gonna invite you to lunch. I know this good restaurant closeby where I go
to eat. You don't have to pay for anything."
After we had lunch she again stated: "Yes, don't worry about anything! From now on I'll be paying
for everything we eat when we go out. "
Me: "Oh really? So you're saying I won the lottery or something. You must be rich."
That first time I said I would at least pay for my own lunch but she refused and even got a 100 bill
out perhaps to try to impress me.
Later in the conversation she said: "Oh, I'm earning good
money on my job so I can easily pay my own way. .. etc...etc...etc"
After a couple of weeks she started saying that her boss didn't pay her on time and that the
checks that she had given her had bounced , implying that I should give her some money to get by.
So basically, the first outings she payed for both of us or at least payed for her own food and even
offered to pay for the parking, so that got me a little bit confused thinking that perhaps she could be
someone worthwhile.
THE TOTAL OPPOSITE!
Later on she started asking me for money. I lent her some money at first, which she never payed back
and later on she asked for more money! Supposedly what she needed to pay her attorney for her divorce.
(that was the other part of her SCAM btw)...
I mean, the first time I gave her money she had been complaining several times that her boss wasn't
paying her in time, so I got a little bit preoccupied with this whole situation as I felt that perhaps our
"relationship" had escalated already as we were already french kissing and stuff but she was pretty much
just a fling and someone not to be taken seriously in any sort of way. What impressed me more or where
she got me was
when I offered her I could lend her some money but she refused to receive it so I offered it twice or three times,
I don't remember that exact detail. I believe she had been using a psychological technique in
where she continuosly repeated that she had no money , nor savings and that her boss was refusing to pay
her on time to make me pity her and for me to voluntarily give her money. So when I offered the money
she refused to accept it, stating she was very "Ashamed"
and that when it came to these type of situations she had difficulties accepting these types of aids so I
offered the money as a loan thinking that that would help her get rid of the "shame". Later on she falsely
offered to pay me back that money, but expecting me to dismiss it as she even said that she didn't even
remember how much I had given her.
The stories were always changed, she even forgot the name she made up for the so called divorce attorney and the
money was actually for some bastard that had given her a ride one day and who got into a car accident
shortly after dropping her off.
I should also mention that this byotch even wanted to make me believe we were in a relationship when we
obviously were not, making me spend on a weekend trip to a place about 5 hours away from the city and then
she just ditched me after she got what she wanted.
So this is actually the way they work you. They investigate you, find out about you with their peers or people
who know you and from what you may stupidly brag about in front of her .
They say they have money, they have a nice job, they can pay
their way for their stuff and everything to make you LOWER YOUR GUARD or even ELIMINATE YOUR GUARD
COMPLETELY!! After they've gained your trust then they can start probing you to see how much they can
get out of you in the form of quick loans and stuff.
Beware of this scam and all types of scams. I even dare to say that women who ask for money within
the first months of getting to know are 100% percent scammers. I mean farther down the road, perhaps
in 6 to 8 months maybe more, she can be in desperate need of some help, but not immediately after
meeting you.
So there you have it guys! I hope this experience can help somebody in the future and KNOW that this
can happen to anybody, even to the best of us, because they are clever, not necessarily smart but
they work on your weaknesses and develop a plan to take you down.
