I am talking about the people who appear to be your big friend but really they are 'backstabbers'. I haven't known that many but they do exist!

An example would be a lady I ran a forum with for about two years, we met on itv forums and got on well decided to try our hand at a forum too, worked really well it was very popular well over a hundred members posting almost everyday.
When we arranged to meet I thought I knew who I would be meeting but she just wasn't what I imagined, didn't for instance realise she was a chain smoker !
Another time I arranged to meet a man with the idea he was to meet my husband as they both had the same medical condition and my husband could advise him on best way forward, he was lovely but alarm bells rang when he needed train fare home, next meeting he needed a loan that was end of it.

Re: Trusting People On The Internet....
Not any more, I did a good few years back now. It was always a 'meet' for those that wished, but seemed to always be only us that attended, We would meet at least four times a year, and the destination would be fair, as to where we all lived, as in one would be near 'a' the next near 'b' etc..But I found, who ever wasn't able to make a meet, was the one to be 'talked' about, and that didn't bode well with me. So I gave up, and hay ho the p.m.'s and e-mails to me stopped.
So now, I will be as friendly as one can on-line, but not wanting to be anymore than that.
