A warning to all women
      #243042 - 11/06/08 03:41 AM

Just to let you know that there are scammers on HIV+ dating sites. They know how vulnerable we are and they are ready to attack as quick as they can. They will tell you how much they love you and wanting to marry you as in yesterday. They would also mention that distance is not a barrier, because they know if they get what they want you will never find them. They are also quick to ask if you are on yahoo messenger. If you get asked for money, immediately block that person because you will never see them let alone find them and your money is gone. I almost fell prey to the scam but was quick-witted to know it was a scam. Never give money to someone you've never met

That is very true and disappointing (as if poz persons don't have a enough to deal with). But let it be said that it is very much the same for men. I have received far more contacts from women (or persons claiming to be women) who profess their love after one or two emails, then start asking for money or they need you to cash checks for them using your bank account.

Let everyone be warned, most poz websites post warnings about these scammers. Also, don't forget to report persons, may not stop them, but will make it more difficult for them to find someone else.

You are so right. I think it is sad how these scammers and that is putting it nicely are ready to pounce on you and give you some B.S. line after 2 to 3 emails confessing there love for you. You just have to keep this in mind.......ANYTHING THAT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

Today well lived makes yesterday a dream of happiness.
