    Don't Eastern European girls normally charge by the dance or by the hour?

    This one was much smarter than that!!!
    She was a waitress when I met her but now I know why she was so fit--she does dance!!
    Beware if yo are in Manchester Preston or Blackburn
    She works clubs in those areas!

    There was a similar thread here a while back, think it was a parent who posted it, but can't remember the title.

    The girl was taken in by a con artist 'boyfriend', he went by several names, the parent also set up a facebook page to try and stop other girls being taken in by the con artist.

    Yeah I can believe this girl may have been too--but she was very smart and intelligent-very attractive- likeable and believable-I met her brother and have her passport details--she may be working here illegallly--I never got to check that out--perhaps I should report her to immigration so they can interrogate her!!!

    I had something similar happen to me, and suspect it could scam as well.

    9 years ago I met a girl from Eastern Europe, had a few dates, visited her homeland. She made me buy her all sorts of thing.....clothes, food, even a house. She also forced me into marrying her, and having children with her.

    Do you think this could be a long play scam? If it is, I'll be having words with her when I get home tonight!

    I cannot believe that I could have been taken in by this...............

    It's definitely a scam if you are 70 and she's 18. :D

    Well if that happened to me I would be very happy
    If I had 9 years with this lady and married her it would be a great finale to my life
    It would be like winning the FA Cup every year
    I'm still crazy about her but can't afford to fund her and the life style I currently have

    Sorry I don't agree
    My children have benefitted greatly from me funding them from education to cars and houses
    Money is for spending not for leaving in banks for the finance people to screw up
