My friend has fallen in love with a Nigerian scammer from plenty of fish.....I'm super creeped out. I don't know what's going to happen...

http://www.romancescam.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=48743

This is the guy....she supposedly met him in life a couple of times but she has issues with face recognition and I'm wondering if it might not be the guy.....I'm assuming not. What are the odds that she met the actual identity theft victim Instead of one of the many scammers.

I'm so upset for her but also don't know what to do....I just wanted to share this with someone......

sounds rly fishy... the broken english and stuff. ive seen a lot of dr phil episodes about stuff like this. women get completely blinded by the prospect of love and fall for these scammers. its sad. i hope your friend realizes this. i also hope she doesnt send him any money

I saw this guys texts though and the English was fine...it's not all the same guy....it's like there are multiple guys using the name purple....but it's all a scam. I haven't heard from her though, I'm kind of afraid to press as she's probably upset....

Horror legend Wes Craven has died. I was introduced to his movies by my horror obsessed fiancee and loved/was totally freaked out by some of his movies, notably the first Nightmare on Elm Street. When the girl is being dragged around in the body bag sent shivers down my spine. Wes Craven was a true icon and he will be sadly missed among horror fans!

Good morning guys, and thanks to everyone for the hugs. I'm getting a bit sore, and I did find one bruise on my arm. But overall I'm good. The sous chef reported it to the head chef. Thankfully I didn't have to do any paperwork. I hate paperwork. I feel weird because I don't want people to think of me as, "that person who fell." I'd prefer that they remember me as, "that person who survived being attacked by a microwave."

I hope everyone's day is better today. I was saddened that so many had been having such crummy days. Hugs to Junk, Newtus, Blue Bird, Angelique, Hyperagitate, Odysseus, SometimesP, Chickenfoot and Loial. My apologies if I forgot anyone. I really did my best to remember everyone I just read. I feel like I have to work twice as hard to remember things lately.

Going to group Thursday, haven't been in awhile. It's the last few days the therapist that has run it for the past several years will be there, she's retiring and we will be getting someone new

Congrats newtus!

I won't be able to go to group today, my anxiety is so bad it's giving me diarrhea and I don't feel well enough to go. It doesn't disappoint me, but I hate missing days of things, I hate calling in for work or calling in for things if I can't go. This is my first time missing IOP but whatever.
I don't feel as hopeless today as I did yesterday.

The guy lied about his name and said he was going to retire in 2 years when the real guy was already retired---my friend found his pictures at the ceremony. She was just looking for pics in google.

Basically if you look at the link the guy is a high ranking soldier and his identity has been compromised and used by scammers. Just the fact that they use the same 10 pictures over and over again is really enough evidence. There were no new unique pics....they say on catfish that you should get pics of people holding up some unique object like a fork or whatever they wouldn't normally take a pic of and ask for that to verify its the same person.

That is exciting! You'll be a great aunt, newtus. Maybe that (hormone fluctuations) explains your sister's hurtful remark the other day.

Honestly , no.

But when I'm done I'm done , i guess if the peripheral issues become a bit disturbing , it makes a decision a lot easier.
