I don't assume they haven't,, people need food and water and shelter, what needs 'sorting' may take longer than they have to be without those basics,, |

Things like this make me crazy. Not only how can people try these scams, but why do people fall for it? Don't send anyone money. Don't fall in love with someone you've never met.

Men get scammed too. They see a fake picture of a young woman who looks like a model. She tells him she loves him after a couple of messages and needs help, etc.
