So cnn has an article warning against the dangers of online dating sites. Here's a snippet:

" She thought she had met the man of her dreams ... an artist from London.

"He sent these wonderful pictures. This guy was quoting scripture. We were praying everyday," she says. "It was almost like a dream guy."

They talked on the phone several times a day, everyday. He was engaging. He gave great advice. He was even supposed to visit her parents in Houston. But then, he started asking for money, with promises to pay her back. In two months, Kossie wired him a total of $2,000. Not to mention the phone bill she was stuck with for $1,500. To this day she has not seen him -- or her money."

ROFL how do people fall for this? The article goes on to blame the website for it! Oh man...people. laugh

It's great work if you can get it. So long as you can deal with feeling like a hooker.
