Beware of Bogus Men On Matrimonial Sites

I have been slowly accepting all that had happened to me in the past one month as a lesson learnt. "A", I found out is a bogus man, all out to cheat women. Luckily, I found this out early using my "head".

Things that gave it away :

a) The scanned copy of this contract was too good to be true. The company that was mentioned in the contract did not exist at all when I googled the company name. This was my first suspicion.
b) Wanted to learn how to drive a boat and buy a boat one day (too good to be true). I was not convinced and was least interested.
c) Wanted to buy a big house in Singapore (I am happy with what I possess here. I am not interested in big houses)- another too good to be true point that I have taken note of.
d) The signatory on the contract, seems to be working in Pakistan when the contract is from a company in Kuwait called KNPC.
e) I googled "male scammers" and found out a lot of information about men posting pictutres of someone else to lure lonely women. I also found out how to track IP Address from the e-mails of these men. I was shocked that I have been corresponding with someone from Lagos, Nigeria all this while, when "A" claims that he is from London.

How could I have been so stupid into believing that he was genuine? Anyway, a part of me was cautious all this while and it was easy to let go suddenly.

I have not corresponded with "A" since finding out that he is bogus. Wonder what sob stories he will come up to abscond money from innocent victims like myself. I'm not into this game. I call it quits and have been ignoring his mails and SMSes.

I hope the picture "A" uses to cheat (of a pleasant looking man and his son) will one day be found out and taken action by the authorities.
