After a divorce Connie went looking for love online. She asked us to use an alias and conceal her identity for fear of embarrassment. It's hard to meet people on real life.

He said yeah you can send me a hundred dollars on an Amazon cart. These romance scams are growing more than 21,000 reports last year, according to the Federal Trade Commission with a median individual loss of $2,600.

Connie lost fifty dollars. I was very upset because it was a waste of time and energy. Daters beware that online flame can break your heart and burn a hole through your wallet.
