Scammers: Psycholotical rape, be very careful

I have a scare review today, the last months I was stolen by a SCAMMER online. Remember by last post inlove an Internet romance I found after this scammer can damage financially and emotionally very much. It is a long story I will start now. I got a request from a maritime engineer from UK one day and I say to myself ' why not add this men at least I know a bit about his routine' and added him, we start to chat supposed he is from UK and was working in the sea. You thing I know and made very up to this scammer, Im definitely very needy if I can find in reality why not go to the internet? And this scammer ( I didnt know was one ) started to realize it and start to be very involvedand after a short time I was very much in love for him, we start to make plans to meet up etc... But the attack was just about to start, he told me he has a son that was in acollege excursion in Ghana and had an accident and needed help to pay the hospital as he couldnt get any money in a ship, this part is true, so he asked me to lend money to him and of course soon as he is in land me he pay me back. Innoncently I lend him the money 2000 dollars! Never more I will see this money again Im sure! And it is sick this all the time after he was inventing new things to get more money from me, finally I just blocked him completely. But the Internet is like the real world, what he did basically it is still money from me! I know as everybody especially my sister that lives in Canada, get into the real world. I did a research about it and seems like many many women around the world suffer from these scams. For me know it is become a nightmare especially because the emmptional side of it, yesterday I even couldnt sleep. Here a website about and seems Ghana it is a main point for it http://ghana.usembassy.gov/romance_scam.html The thing is Ive learned in the worse way that you have a real world, the right thing to do is looking in the real world and dont expected too much from the virtual world, the ones that read my blog can followed the story of my last years, Ive met some boyfriends by Internet, but the man Im in love now I met in reality :), I think I already comment about him, he was my first boyfriend in Brazil and still in love for him, I tought in another country, another man could make me happy, but it is wrong, just in my dreams maybe.
