Of course you could be conned here or anywhere else if you allow yourself to be. HOw dangerous it can be depends on the nature of the con. From my occasional work with victims,the most dangerous have a pattern similar to this. First comes the slow but steady grooming. Compliments that start out innocuous and polite becoming more personal over time and sharing of more intimate details as trust builds. Finally getting to declarations of love or intense and undying friendship. Then comes the requests for money. You may say you'd have to be silly to fall for it but these people are highly skilled and know what buttons to push with vulnerable people and in what order.Re: Conning Your Fellow Members.
Not quite the same, but I actually met a woman who was using her son's legitimate illness so that she could go on paid vacations and to get other perks - like a new car . She used "PrayersforP_____" on Facebook, Instagram, and a website to root around the internet for money.Re: Conning Your Fellow Members.
