Should be an interesting day.

oh dear.

Oh dear. Keep us posted!

Haha, well she allegedly missed her flight and will be coming tomorrow. From London.

Mm-hm.

That poor man.

Suuuuuure she is.

Oh hon... I'm so sorry and the eternal optimist in me will keep her fingers crossed that it's not a scam!!

Well... he's depressed now. He just got a call from a doctor explaining that his 'fiance' is in a coma following a car accident.

Expecting a request for more money any second now, heh.

Oh hon... my brother just got the same call about an old friend of his... from his 'wife' in Singapore. Supposedly he's dead now.

It just pisses me off soooooo bad that folks play with others emotions that way! I HATE it!!

Oh man, that's low. Yeah, there's no empathy on their part at all.

And he's wound so tight now, any attempt to explain the situation offends him. Crazy world

They prey on folks emotions... masters of manipulation... it sucks. Big hugs to you and your brother, sugar.

Please tell me he's not STILL believing this story.

Wish I could. :/ Apparently, she had a large inheritance that he's entitled to now, lol.

It'll hurt, but I hope he gets burned bad enough to snap out of it.

When the heart gets involved, you believe what you want to believe rather than what's staring you right in the eyes...

Too true.

sends along hugs for both of you. Although I tend to agree with you in the "but I hope he gets burned bad enough..." to learn his lesson.

Pumpkin - I'm in the UK. How about you get the hospital details from your brother and I can call to check how she's doing?

It might give him pause when she's not there.

Oooo, espionage!

Now there's a notion, Saffia.

Lol, that would be fun. Last week I pretended to run the email address for him... telling him it pointed to a credit card scammer. No luck

He's really blinded by it all and if he wants to trust some broken English email over his family, then whatever, heh.

It'd be sorta comical if he wasn't going to go broke over it.

People like that make me sick...

If he's anything like my genius of a brother... the idea of wanting to be wanted... would totally out weigh most logic.

That's exactly it. Thinking he finally got a break. Oh wells. It'll pass.

I'm genuinely surprised that a mysteriously delayed flight followed by a car crash isn't raising suspicions.

I've heard of crazier things that HAVE happened... if it were someone you thought you loved, would you give up hope?

Even though he's never met this woman... he is so blinded by the need to be needed, that he'll probably believe anything... and it SUCKS!

I hate people who prey on the wounded.. but folks who prey on the emotionally needy are some of the lowest of the low.
