"MySpace" - a breeding ground for scam artists prey on young women Twenty-one years, Teri Moreno contacted Women's Legal Resource few weeks ago need help on how to deal with a con man she was dating. After talking with Teri and listening to her story, I felt compelled to write this story and raise awareness on more on online dating and MySpace. I ordered him to file a police report and inform the FBI as soon as possible. It looked like this guy has done this before, and probably go to his next victim. MySpace has become a breeding ground for criminals who prey on young women. This type of criminal knows that young girls or women will not question who they are or where they come from social networks., Like MySpace, it is easier for individuals to drop their guard. Especially for someone shy, introverted or lacking social skills. This category of criminals is aware of the naivety and girls are vulnerable and they feed in the hope they will get emotionally attached quickly, as is Teri. They take advantage of you, take all your money and take you on a roller coaster ride to hell and confusion. I hope that young people across the country read Teri. Just know that when you choose online today, you are placing your life in danger of rape, kidnapping and even murder. Of course, it may be easier to let your inhibitions down while online, but it is not the same as meeting someone for the first time. There is always a risk, but the stakes are high when you get into trouble online using MySpace date. When you meet someone in person, your instinct is to concentrate and make the size of the person in place. On MySpace, you can not see if someone looks you in the eye when talking to you or how their body posture. The predator is hidden in the black hole of endless Internet and reels its prey in. Be aware of who you talk online, especially on MySpace and Facebook. It is very easy for a predator to be your friend. Do not give out personal information or where you live, you have until that person checked. If you feel there is something wrong, listen to your instincts, you're probably right. "I met my fiancee" Greg "on MySpace. When I met him for the first time I thought it was love at first sight. It was an older man and it made me feel really special. We started dating and then he moved in with me. It does not work, saying he had cancer and that prevented him from working. I was the financial support. Please keep in mind, I had no idea he was a crook. Then I discovered I was pregnant. When I told him he was in shock. I was not thinking and thought it was a normal reaction. From there, our relationship has never been the same. This should have been the first warning sign. One day he received news that his father was ill and needed to return to San Antonio. In fact, his father died. During our relationship, I spent so much money on him because I honestly believed that his story me he had cancer and could not work. Now with hindsight, I feel pretty stupid to trust this man. Now, with his father disappeared, he needed to go to the funeral. On May 28, 2009, I used what little money I had and sent him to his fathers funeral. On June 8 "Greg" contacted me and told me he had seen a doctor and that his heart was failing and would require surgery and a pacemaker. On June 12, I had a miscarriage. On 13 June, I spoke with "Greg" and told him I lost the baby. The June 14 "Greg" called me and told me that surgery went well, but he was not feeling too well and was quick to tell me that everything would be fine and we will try to have another child.
