09/17 Faking It?

Quote From: bigwhitewolf

There are cons and also impersonators. I admit I have a false identity on the Web in the form of a nickname but as I know that I must trust only a few, I do not share direct informations with most of the people. It sure gives someone a sense of power but it shouldn't be as such. I talk often with people that have a hard time coping with their everyday lives and it is not always funny, you can be sure of that. But this anonymous person I keep is a way to keep a distance between these people and I, because you already know that, affected people are sensible to anything that brings them hope or well being and they tend to lean towards what is coming to them. That is why I feel distances must be kept.

As for doing wrong, everybody can err one time or two in their lives, it is still forgivable but, the abuse of someone that is already living some Hell is very unpallatable to me. In fact I despise an abuser. But sometimes people are the one comitting the error of letting too much exposed like, some over-proud parents that show their kids on adult sites.

Even with a pseudo, I still keep my best morality alive with it. When kids trample on my sites, I always ask if a parent is near by and insist to say hello to their folks, sometimes they hang or simply put their mothers on or their father. That is the clean thing to do and this way, a parent can know me and in the same time I profit of that pause to direct them towards some neat sites for kids.

As for the common con artists, many are acting on very old tricks that target mostly uninformed people or computers illeterates (newbies as we say). The worst kind is the one that tries to scare you with something that could be but that is not, like the Y2K scare. It always cost a lot to the people who get grabbed by this stupid con.

Must we all show who we are? I'd say no to that if impersonal relations are to be made but if crime is the case, make them known worldwide.

Thanks for your time.

I agree. Pache isn't my real name but who wants to put their real name and other important info on the net......it's no longer safe.

I have a myspace page and recently found that a person I'd been speaking to for months who claimed to be in the military now for 17 years, in the Army 15 of it, been to Iraq twice, had actually only been in the Navy for less than 2 years and was dishonorably discharged for conduct unbecoming of an Navy person. It was amazing to find out how many women he had conned into sending him money and presents. I do have to say I shouldn't have been so stupid but I did a background check and got his address and that's when I started thinking.......why send money and gifts to an apartment address and not a normal APO for the Army. lol. Guess we need to check out everyone before we trust them.
