I thought it was funny when I was friend requested by a person named John David.  The name seemed familiar to me.  Dr. Phil routinely has stories about women being catfished on the internet.  Catfished is: Being deceived over facebook as the deceiver professed their romantic feelings to his/her victim, but isn't who they say they are.

Routinely, the "catfisher" is attempting to scam money from its victim.  That was the case for me.  Now, keep in mind, I knew from the beginning of all this that I was being scammed.  Once 'John David' knew I wasn't playing...he BLOCKED me!!  Our online romance wasn't meant to be.

It really shocks me that people actually fall for this...hook...line...and sinker.  My advice is simple.  Don't be stupid!

And, always do your hair and wear make-up before taping yourself!
