    1. jmack619 he’s disabled. He thought he had found someone who would love regardless of his state and they took advantage of him. This actually has happened to more able bodied than the disabled.

  1. So sad, no one should ever feel so desperate for love to allow someone to take advantage of them. The online world is so full of these scammers, both male and female.

  2. She’s got experience taking advantage of a disabled person who apparently wears his heart on his sleeve. I have a neuromuscular challenge and moved away from a violently toned older brother after years of him scamming me for a sizable amount of my pension. Its frustrating when you have feelings of distrust and know you’ve been taken advantage of, as the marginalizers think they are winning as seem to get away with want they wanted, more than the value of family.

    1. Pretty much, he is clearly not of sound mind to give a stranger money. Ppl that don’t allow themselves to heal emotionally after losing someone are vulnerable, but u can’t cure stupid I’m afraid.

  3. Bro, stop using Windows XP.
    Hackjackers can get into your machine through unpatched security holes.
