Karen, I would like to say is I just laugh when scammers make up the most incredible stories. I learned that it's one of their techniques to getting their victims to gain your trust and sympathy. After that, it makes it slightly easier for them to start reaching into your pockets for $$$$. xD. What I meant by the incredible stories is when they write things like them losing a family member an an extremely young age.
