Just want to say a huge thanks re: aibu to be concerned about this man thread. Emailed mum with a load of collected evidence about the scams going on, mostly thanks to you guys! She got in touch with the dating site to investigate and surprise surprise he is no longer a member. Although he has sent a photo which we were having a laugh over today, I might have to put it on my profile!

She feels a bit silly but glad it was pointed out to her before it got too bad.

So glad your mum listened to you in the end.
I'm glad she's not too upset, and if she continues internet dating will not get fooled so easily again.

Can you upload it to Flickr or something? I'm dying to see it now Grin

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 30/08/2011 22:12

DontGoCurly · 30/08/2011 22:30

Ha ha @ photo! What a muppet!

WhoremoaneeGrainger · 30/08/2011 22:31

it is if you search under people - you are so right about the photoshopping. Lucky escape i think.

Milngavie · 30/08/2011 22:32

MugglesandLuna · 30/08/2011 22:36

Loving the photo.

Glad you Mum wasnt in so deep that she could see the truth.

mumatron · 30/08/2011 22:36

Ha ha! That pic is a classic.

BillComptonstrousers · 30/08/2011 22:37

That is fucking hilarious! Made my night!

LeBOF · 30/08/2011 22:38

What a dickhead Grin

Glad your mum can laugh now too.

clawsatELVES · 30/08/2011 22:44

Excellent - well done you for getting though to her, in a nice way.

LOVE the picture. But looks not so much photo-shopped as photo- copied! You can even see the shadowing on the text!
