A 50 year old woman who does not want to give her name out, lost $23,000 to a man who she met on facebook. Between the phone and online, they talked for around three months. She says they even conversed about scammers and the dangers of them. After she gained his trust, he made up a fake story about needing money. He even cried over the phone and she felt horrible and gave in. He promised to pay her back, but obviously never did. She told her brother about what happened and he contacted the police in hopes of getting the money back, but once it's gone, it's gone. This lady spoke up to warn other people to never fall for sob stories, no matter how believable. You should never feel pressured or obligated in any way.
