When you have a mental illness it is easy to fall into traps. If you meet someone online and they seem like the great love of your life after only a few sort conversations than you are being CONNED.
List of Lines a Predator Uses: 1. I'm falling in love with you. 2. I've never felt this way before so quickly. 3. We can be good together. The predator has said it before and will say it again to another girl. HOWEVER the dead giveaway is that the predator calls you by another woman's name- repeatedly. The only good thing about this is that yes, you did meet a predator but a really, REALLY stupid one. We all get conned sometimes. I say "blame it on Disney." |

Yes, I know what you mean. It's already tough enough dealing with the mental issues. But then on top of it, I seem to be a magnate for what seem to be just all around no-good guys. It's really kind of hard to navigate between people that have the best intentions and then because of my past abuse, I have sooo many trust issues. It's really confusing. What are some other things to look for? Not just online but in real life as well.

Just because we have mental illness does not make us mental midgets or easy prey

Maybe this guy just really likes you and is acting crazy because he doesn't know how to deal with his feelings. Let him take you out and see where that goes.
If he murders you then you know he was a predator. If he buys you flowers and a 1.50 Carat, sparkling quality, engagement ring then he isn't so bad after all. |

OMG really? That is freaking amazing. It just seems so insane to meet someone in a mental health chat room and then to hear such romantic words so quickly. Right now I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo confused.  But I haven't felt this excited in years... I mean...I'm guessing that's how Jaen feels... |

Here is the official list: 1.Amy22 2.Ithurts 3.Jaen Wirefly 4. Baltazar (But that name just doesnt work too well so I'm trying to get it changed to Jaen_Glimmers) The above comment about "I guess that is what Jaen is thinking" was a joke. What can I say I'm an insane writer. |

It's not the mentally ill that fall for scams, it's the vulnerable and insecure (and in a way, " stupid" ones). There are even job scams - you apply for what you think is a well-paid job but they don't respond - and instead rob you because they've got your bank details which you gave because they were supposed to pay you for doing the job.

Getting scammed, or being vulnerable or insecure.. does not make someone stupid. It means that someone is hopeful and that they maybe have never had the experience of being cared about - how is someone to know the difference if they've never experienced the genuine thing?
Giving away banking information is a daft move, but a good scam can make it a lot easier to do than someone might otherwise expect. Especially if the scam involves love and a relationship.
