    Everything was rated 'G'. I'm not a sleeze, and 'she' didn't seem to be either.

    She said she was living in and texting from Vancouver. But that could have been a scam as well. Anyway, it sounds like my case could be an instance of the scam described in the article, or a related scam. And if so, these folks doing it are victims also.

    The article appears to be from this thread ...

    And the article mentions Gate 25, which apparenly represents innocence and unconditional love.

    I just don't think anyone needed a heads up to realize what you experienced was an obvious scam.

    I suspected that at first, then as time went on, I got more "comfortable" in the relationship. It was only when 'she' said that it was easy money, that I decided to wait. I know from experience that trading is not usually easy money, at least not for most of us.
