(36,906 posts)The internet can be a fantastic search device but can also be a horrible historical reference.
News articles, especially.
The internet article can be modified easily to the point that it disagrees with the print article from the same source.
Or it can disappear entirely.
You can quote from the internet article and a week later, those words are not there anymore.

(17,640 posts)Anything that I search brings up people with something to sell 95% of the time. I have to wade through tons of debris to find what I am looking for. It didn't used to be that way. Last week I was searching for how to date and antique; that was a big mistake...I did find out, much to my surprise, that there are a bunch of beautiful, sexy, young women who want to date decrepit old fat men....If I had only known....

(36,906 posts)What does your internet sweetie look like?
They may be a doctor, or a hunk military man, or a supermodel woman/rich widow, or some rich businessman. But most assuredly they'll be overseas, somewhere out of range of a personal meeting. Charming of course. And most times you won't be able to video chat with them. You'll get a picture - someone's picture. Don't be surprised if they turn out to be a skinny Nigerian dude.
They called them clients, not victims.
These scammers are amazingly open about how they are scamming their clients. Are they convincing? They can be very convincing. One client was playing naked sex games with his 'girlfriend' who turns out to be a guy.
Their favorite clients??? Widowed/divorced....(lonely).
They have unlimited love for you. They only run out of love when you quit sending them money... as in; when you run out of money to send.
My favorite is the fetish priestess. She has character and personality.
(Not necessarily good character)
