The love scammer

The love scammer

A Poem by Onlyme
"

Play them like a fiddle. ie manipulate, skillfully. Mark ie a fool

"
He sits at his computer
in another country.
And he is a "love scammer".
He goes online.
Looking for the lonely with money
and who are softhearted and kind.

And he plays them
like a fiddle.
Making out he is decent
and likes them a lot.
To where he will be
their long-distance lover.
He reels them in.
And the poor soul
at the other end
believes him.

Even to the point,
they send them  money
and gifts to their
home address or post office
box in their country.

And these vulnerable people
are not the only person
they target and pick on.

They have a black book
with their other "Marks"
and info on them.
And scam them too.
As they work on others
at the same time.

This world is filled with
so many lonely people.
Who just want someone
to love and have in their
life. And nasty vile folk
like them.

Are using and abusing them.
For a quick buck and a laugh.

Not even caring
if they hurt them
or upset them in the slightest.

Ah, the predators! The evil that so easily entangles a vulnerable soul. I'm afraid the web is both a blessing and a curse . . . much like that damn tree in the center of Eden.
Dawn, we hear your tender heart. It's good to know there are still people who care.

i just want to line all of these people up against a wall and use a machine gun.
Especially when there are those who are REALLY in need.

The predators wear many hats my friend and they are all woven with scorn couldn't agree with you more dear Dawn. I am at heart an optimist but they try even my open heart these days!
