I think there are scammers all over the world that want to come to the US. I know mine....said he was from NY. He was on a business trip to South Africa...needed $$$$ to get home. Meanwhile he told me that he was an architect.

It's all just BS........JMO.

It's not about me..or on here....

It's a friend who apparently is on a site and met someone and they want to meet...

I'm afraid for this person....

money looks etc....

and the UK person is only looking for a better life..to become an American

With all my time on the net and talking to ppl who have been in this situation...then disaster only to find that they were being used for that green card...

thats bad...and frighting..especially when you know the person who could be hurt and taken for everything....

yikes

Germany was quite a culture shock when I went there some years back, my sis said Ireland's beautiful, Syd Barrett is from Cambridge England, doesn't sound like UK is bad to me. drinker

Zanne, the average person from the UK has a standard of living at least equal to that of the average person from the US. An individual may wish to move to the US and might even think they will improve their quality of life there, but Brits in general are probably better off to stay where they are.

IDK, I think UK is better off than America. It usually people from the poorer countries that will scam you, Nigeria, is notorious for scams.

I'd say that there is a good chance that these people are just saying they are from the UK, but are probably from Nigeria or somewhere.

Americans like us Brits, generally. They love the accent, and find our country interesting. Its worthwhile for the scammer to say they are from here, because if they admit they are in Nigeria, say, then they know they arent going to get very far with their scam.

If Dan is anybody to guage them off of, they are far uglier!

Honestly though, the UK has about the same quality of life if not better than that of the US. I would scam a UK lady just to get into their country...just kidding, or am I?:tongue:
