I had forgotten her! Unfortunately, there are many more out there like her I think.<br /><br />However, I have met a couple of dear souls online whose real life experiences and the grace with which they deal with them put these people to shame.

Just my opinion. I try not to dramatize my little family happenings, and steer away from publicizing negative experiences, for that very reason! I don't want to seem like I am trying to "convince" people of my "story" ya know? So I keep it simple and honest- yes, with LOTS of pictures!<br /><br />Thank you for this post. I will probably email you, as I have more to say, but not publicly :DHey it's Amy Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01927201090750371111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-41635140230514272092009-05-13T00:21:00.000+10:002009-05-13T00:21:00.000+10:00@Tiff - yes that woman was 'unforgetable'.

That is worse to make a monetary gain - and that is criminal fraud.<br /><br />@Natalie - yes it can harden our heart but please don't taint all people the multitude of good honest people.<br /><br />@veronica - I didn't see Kate's story - how shocking.I have met a few bloggers/internet friends so I know they are truthful.<br /><br />PS MY camera has been off for almost 6 weeks at Canon getting repaired *sigh* I hope you get yours back soon.<br /><br />@ Chris - mine boys do too. It's ok Little one is far more important.<br /><br />@Purplemoose - you know I have hesitated several times about posting something because of the same reason. 'Will people believe me or turn off because I might be making it up or stretching the story'. <br /><br />@Widdle shamrock - some people will do just anything for sympathy (like the 0Munchausen by proxy -where they injure or make their children sick)<br /><br />@Jeanie - I acknowledge some of these people may have an 'illness'. I wouldn't want to 'taint' the situation it by saying mental illness.<br />Others just don't care who they hurt in their web of deception.♥.Trish.♥ Drumboyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482654455512269065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-90820871828318966462009-05-12T08:45:00.000+10:002009-05-12T08:45:00.000+10:00I was once on a forum where one poster was quite e...I was once on a forum where one poster was quite elaborate in her duping of the whole community - what gets me is, surely the guilt at getting the outpouring of help and support would stop you at some point?jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322709527738134797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-16000874549577698862009-05-12T07:17:00.000+10:002009-05-12T07:17:00.000+10:00Sadly yes, I have known people who have faked thin...Sadly yes, I have known people who have faked things. However, I have never been 'friends' long enough to have been drawn in too far and get hurt as I have seen others do.<br /><br />My girlfriend told me her son died. She had had him young and lost custody of him as the father's family had money. I ended up working with the father's mother only to find it was a lie.<br /><br />I never fully understood her need to do that.<br /><br />I just try not to let the frauds and manipulators harden my heart to the point that I won't reach out to the genuine ones.Widdle Shamrockhttp://widdleshamrock.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-1145743719915530392009-05-12T00:49:00.000+10:002009-05-12T00:49:00.000+10:00I've never seen this personally, but the internet ...I've never seen this personally, but the internet world is tainted with stories of people who get comfortable with each other, then meet personally, then bad stuff happens. Very often it involves children or teens who are too innocent to know that their "friend" is lying. That alone makes me really wonder about anything I read online. <br /><br />I don't want to get "taken" emotionally, but I'm not sure how to verify what's being written. It also makes me very cautious about what I write. And wonder, do people think I am making this up?

It honestly made me feel sick.<br /><br />I think, or at least I would like to think, that the majority of the blogs I read are truth, or very close to it. But then, I tend to read smaller blogs, not the hugely popular cult followings, so I'm maybe less likely to find a fraud. Or maybe I'm just naive.<br /><br />Is it just me, or does everyone else find it harder to take people seriously when there are never any photos?
