Man Pays $200,000 To Save Fake Online Girlfriend

An anonymous reader writes "A 48-year-old Illinois man has experienced an online scam that was particularly devastating, both financially and emotionally. A woman he believed to be his online girlfriend turned out to be a fake, and his money has disappeared with her. The scam was recently revealed because he went to the police asking for help to rescue the woman, insisting that she had been kidnapped in London. The online 'relationship' between the two began over two years ago, during which he wired about $200,000 to several different bank accounts in Nigeria, Malaysia, England, and the US."

Well, you're a massive faggot too scared to troll from his own account, but you're right, not all people are created equal. For instance, some people understand that you can speak in general terms without making a claim to absolute certainty or completeness of explanation, and some are weird sperglords.
