WHAT IF...
Logging onto the internet meant:
- You would find true love
- You would make wonderful new friends
- You would discover a new addiction
- You would lose every cent you ever saved
- You would be stalked in ways you'd never imagined
- You would be deceived or betrayed by strangers you called friends
Everything above is not only possible, it's very, very probable. In fact, this site contains actual letters and stories from real people, all over the world, who have experienced the joys and heartbreaks of meeting others on the internet. Stories from people who've found true love and marriage and stories from others who thought they had found the same - only to find cons and scams.
The internet offers us unique new possibilities. We can bank online, research subjects, find recipes. We can also meet other people. Through programs like "chat" or "pagers" like ICQ, more people than ever are hooking up. It's easy to get caught up in the net. Actually a very apropos term, people are becoming addicted to chat and the internet at alarming rates.
Don't think it could ever happen to you? That's exactly what the cons and others are counting on. It can happen to you, it happened to me. It's happened to hundreds if not thousands of others and the articles and stories on this site are but an example of it.
I met my husband through the internet, and like many, many people out there, he is genuine, real, devoted and loving. But before I met him, and developed the skills for detecting real vs. bogus people, I went through my own hellish experiences. Experiences that cost me what savings I had, experiences that put me in debt, experiences that were emotionally devastating.
I also made great friends. Friends I am proud and privileged to have still, to this day, that I've met in real life and cherish deeply.
Before you venture out in the strange new interent world and societies, read this site. Read the stories, letters, articles and advice.
Forewarned is Forarmed... Arm Yourself.
