Had another "like" on CM, but "she" was gone by the time I got there. I did deactivate my profile and now I can't read any messages that I had nor can anyone send me new ones. But best of all, scammer can no longer "like" me. I never liked them to start with so I'm happy....

I always wonder why scammers keep attacking dating sites and emails, but if they get one response in 1,000 that's a good day. If out of that, they get one person hooked out of a couple hundred responses, they've got a good payday. Too many lonely people make their jobs easy and for scammers, persistence pays off.

I remember when I used to get letters from Nigerian royalty and banker's widows, willing to share their millions with me, but the Internet and free long-distance phone service made that too expensive. I still get scammers calling my landline. My grandkids are in trouble and need bail money, "charities" call for donations, people wanting to fix my broken computer and so on. I got a call yesterday from the Post Office in Mexico (yes, the call actually came from Mexico) about a package delivery address verification for my wife. You don't really want to know what I told her.... Unfortunately, there are people who fall for these fakes, and that's a pity.
