stupid people everywhere

[lightningclix]

People are too nice and want to see the best in others, sometimes are blinded by things like love most of the time. Things that others can see from 10 miles away! It is sad, but people hunt for these kind souls so they can take advantage of them. What gets me is the ones that let it happen over and over again. Live and learn peeps!

I guess you are right.  I guess if you are lonely and really searching and someone seems to know all the right things to say and really acts like they love you then maybe this can happen.  I have been taken advantage of more than once.  I cannot see me giving anybody even $100 let alone thousands. But what you say I guess does make sense.  I guess if somebody doesn't have any family and think they have found this person who really cares about them.  I can see how it can happen.  But if the person is familiar enough to be on dating sites they should be familiar enough to have been around online long enough to know about scams like that.

I don't think she was so much stupid as trusting.  There are some stupid people out there.  My daughter has a convenience store and you wouldn't believe the number of stupid questions that get asked.

People pray upon the vulnerable. Sometimes it has nothing to do with a persons intelligence at all. A scammer will always come up with ways to scam that will never end.

Good Grief.

I believe everyone is intelligent in their own way; even if they make mistakes.

Sometimes people are naive.  Sometimes they're gullible.  Sometimes they're desperate for love and willing to take risks that they might eventually regret.

I'm hypersensitive and I know when someone is trying to manipulate me so that's how I'm able to avoid some of the cons that exist.  Also, I avoid the dating websites.
