A student has been jailed for three years after six lonely women were scammed out of £186,000 through dating websites.
The victims were contacted by a man, who police believe is xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 26, who claimed to be an architect, engineer and gem broker, while talking them into handing over the money.

Is there no end to people's stupidity. It makes me wonder whether they are responsible enough to pull their own fucking tights up if they just give their money away ....
The Holiday Love Rat prog last week had me slackjawed.
People are really STUPID at times.... |

I hope they get it all back and I hope that someone looks after it for them and puts an elastic through their sleeves to keep their mittens in place..

did these women have mental capacity or did they just have poor judgement?
baffles me what any sane person would hand over any amount of money to someone like that. |

They prey on easy targets, people share their vulnerabilities and a kind word in support can often be the start.....
it gets the door open.
and I see some women in swinging do exactly the same. |

Sounds like greed rather than stupidity got to them. The guy probably fed them a line about making easy money.
It's been done for so many years - wouldn't be surprised if we find cave paintings about it.

Sadly I've met a lady once off here who lent a guy £1500 the day after he had took her out for a drink with the promise of it being returned when his redundancy money came through |

I have heard of elderly gay men being scammed in the east mids in recent years. You can flatter some women and men and they are putty in your hands. Its tragic, but often conmen and women play to the victims ego. Look at all those sad old twats roughing it in Phuket, having been fleeced by their young girlfriends. I remember see all the pensioners and divorcees in the acopolypse now bar in Ho Chi Minh City thinking its only a matter of time!! |

"These women have obviously never read take a break in their lives.....or they would know the dangers!  "
Is Take A Break the font of all scamming knowledge?
Unfortunately I think people see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe. Those things happen to other people and they "know" the person they are dealing with and s/he would never do anything like that.

I ask for chocolate on my profile and I'm yet to receive so much as a KitKat (with one exception when chocs were bought for the kids).

Slighty off topic (not to do with dating sites that is) but a chap who used to live near me, one of the humblest people you would ever meet, was conned twice.
He was (he has passed away now) a WWII veteran and reached 98 years old. Lovely man.
Unfortunately he was 'to trusting' and when people who said they were council workmen turned up he would let them in.
They then stole from him.
At the time he was living independently in a flat, would potter up to our local for a drink and a chat.
Due to what happened his children decided to put him in a home.
Sad state of affairs all around.

I think that older people trust authority more and tend to believe that if someone says they are from the council or in my mum's case microsoft that they actually are. My father told me that if the bank rang him he would tell them his pin number "because its the bank", of course we put him right but you can see how it happens.
People get conned for many reasons greed, loneliness, naivety and stupidity. |

I think you are right. Jock was none of the last paragraph though, he was just from a generation that trusted people and, until he was conned, had no reason not to.
It is difficult to say whether these incidents cost him his life but he was moved to a home, an area he lived in for 20+ years, after these incidents happened, his health declined after the move but he was also 98.
Whatever, people who prey on other peoples weaknesses are nothing but scum

Sorry to say it but it sounds like a scam of sorts in so far as a very cruel wind up. What a knob! (Not you, the bloke who was doing it) |

I used to have a fake (paid for by dating site) profile, where I made out that I was recently widowed, of my own means and looking for the love of my life.
Used to get all the scammers, mainly overseas, all the stories and would get me off the dating site asap (because they are monitored), I would go with the story, and then they would ask for money transfers, which we'd then get the details, their IP address, and for those in the UK, the police would take a visit and the overseas, they built up a file and worked with their counterparts overseas to go further up the chain. This was about 8 years ago, and I doubt much has changed.
There are many vulnerable people out there. |

The will and there allways have been vulnerable folk and others who will exploit..
listened to a lady on radio 5 live last week who was conned out of £150,000 and a bloke who handed over £60,000 in the latest 'boiler room' scam..
both were educated, articulate and both thought they could get an easy return..
if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.. |

"Poor women I hope that get some of their money back..."
My first reaction would be to agree, however after a little thought I think it would be better if they got nothing back, and no hope of ever getting it. With wide publicity it could save a lot of other people from falling into the same trap. |

Yes, thanks granny too! It is sad that people are abused this way, but any of us could be desperate and taken advantage of, I believe, in the wrong circumstances. We are fortunate not to have fallen prey to some of the very manipulative and scheming filth out there. Keep your panties up and purses closed girls, till you are sure. Ok, drop the panties, you deserve some magic. |

It's bad enough when scammers target people on websites but it's worse when a site owner is the scammer. Recently a swingers site owner has been convicted of fraud and sentenced to 2 years for fleecing gullible members out of £40 with bogus messages from fake profiles. |
