ORIGINAL: Lucienne EDIT EDIT EDIT for fucks sake DELETE YOUR POST don't get me wrong, I love reading this, but you should probably keep it private. Edited :) sorry I don't know what Lucienne "caught" here, but outing scammers on public boards is a bit of a catch-22. Let's say, for example, that someone writes me from Chicago, Indiana. Well, Chicago is in Illinois. If I post on an open forum that Mistress SuperPerfect doesn't even know the difference between Illinois and Indiana, and "she" reads my post, I've just helped her be a better scammer when she goes after her next mark. On the other hand, maybe she really is a she, and was coffee-deprived (or kinda dumb) when she wrote me that email. In general, I'd suggest you only provide specific Nottingham-like details in private emails, and be more general when you post in a public forum. No usernames, no email details. You don't want to help her if she really is a con artist, you don't want to diss her if she isn't, and really the most important thing is for you to get a better sense of how this whole online dating thing works, so you can spend your time courting women who might be interested in you for real.
