Unfortunately, pissdoll's story is not at all uncommon. I was once tasked with informing a love scam victim that the man she had been corresponding with and talking to for about 6 months had sent her a fake cheque to deposit in her account. I got to her in time to stop one of the wire transfers ($2000), but not the other ($3000). She had me on the phone in one ear, the western union rep in the other, and was crying all the way through it. This woman, a single mother who worked 2 jobs to support her children, wound up $3000 in debt to the bank and was nearly arrested on cheque kiting charges. It will take her years to pay off that money. The scammer in question had several women on the line at the time, and was pulling in thousands of dollars per month. He wasn't making a living, he was making a killing by ruining people's lives. BTW, he was and is located in Nigeria, is exceptionally well spoken/written, and very good at his "job".

yes, i see that i did. Unfortunately, you pointed it out to me after the time in which i could edit expired.

Oh, well. sorry about that.
I see from your profile that thatis important to you. I try to remember to cut and paste my posts and emails into a spell checker, because i know my spelling is atrocious, but sometimes i get lazy.
just a note, for fun, on your profile. You mention not being '420 friendly' a couple of years ago, i was searching for a roommate, i had to google '420' to find out what it was. i had no idea! (but once i found out, i knew to avoid those roommate ads!).
Shortly after learning this new vocabulary addition, i passed a car on the interstate with the vanity plate '420'. Now, I may not have previously known what it meant - but i am betting every cop in the state knows! Why would you want the only thing you announce to the highway patrol to be - well, THAT?
