Journ*lists posting their Ls online

I’m way too smart for that. I’ve got a degree from journ*lism school.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If you click through to the linked article there's more details about the scam.

One day, Mair called me and said the DA was now demanding $50,000 to dismiss the criminal case against her. I didn’t have $50,000 in cash. But I did have an 840 credit score. So I let her charge the $50,000 on my credit cards using her PayPal account to get the criminal case against her dropped, thereby opening the pathway for her to secure her $6.5 million inheritance and pay me back. I had only ever been to court for speeding tickets at that point. I knew so little about the criminal justice system. Besides, Mair was now like a family member! I just never imagined that she could be scamming me.

Just how r-slurred can you possibly be? I mean I know it's a journo but still.

I think I just found my new side hustle

Darn this Mair woman sounds like she rules lol

Also how you gonna be gay and still fall for female trickery?

3 . Drama, Drama, Drama

Look, bad things happen to everyone. People get cancer. People have children who suddenly die. People have crazy family members who are out to “get them.” But all those bad things rarely happen to the same person at the same time ... unless they’re a con artist making up all this drama in their lives to manipulate and prey on your emotions. They use them to suck you into their craziness and exploit your kindness and good nature. If there’s a new person in your life broadcasting a steady stream of soap opera-esque drama, change the channel.

>Mair told us she was originally from Ireland and one night she pointed to a framed document hanging in her living room. “This is the Irish Constitution,” she said. “See that signature at the bottom? That’s my great uncle’s.”

This man must be one of the most gullible people alive.

I would laugh at this journo, but my ex-wife scammed me out of a quarter million dollars and could have got a lot more out of me if I hadn't wised up to her at the last minute and insisted on a divorce. So I don't exactly have any moral high ground to scoff at this person. Everything he's saying is absolutely true: these are the major behaviors to look out for if you're potentially dealing with a scam artist - and honestly, that's how I figured out I was being scammed. Honestly this is an extremely useful article (written by a journo no less!) which makes it practically a mythical object, like Excaliber or the Holy Grail.
