I learned the hard way to keep information away from people newly met when the across the street neighbor of my Mothers boyfriend & his daughters friend (who was supposed to be an RN specializing with cancer patients), turned out to be an ID Theaf stealing my mothers ID & all her information when her cognative abilities went down hill because the cancer was spreading. I opened up way too much & had it used against me with the police coming after me.

But like September Morn said, we have met on line friends & ended up having very enjoyable time together getting to know each other better. It is just common sense (that I learned the hard way) to use caution depending on the situation like with anyone you initially meet either on line or even in everyday life.

I would love to be able to have a sting set up to catch that RN who I am sure did it before & will do it again. She needs to be kept off the street & away from preying on anymore elderly cancer patients. We lost all our family jewelry that was in the family.....besides all the stress from what she did to me when I caught her doing it. I still am not over that trauma & will take years & it wasn't even an on line situation. It is just a matter of you being in control of the situation you are in. But it is not necessary to stop all contacts just TAKE CARE & BE CAUTIOUS in whatever situation you are in with someone newly met.
