I thought this was a place where like minded people stuck together and help each other out. Smh. Sorry if my knee jerk reaction to that a-holes comments offended you.

I agree that the comment about the bridge in Brooklyn was condescending. And I feel really sorry for what happened to OP. He admit he did something stupid, and he deserves a lot of credit for telling his story and warning others on this forum. However, these kind of stories apperantly does not keep others from doing the same. I wonder if the only thing that really works is pointing out that if you do in fact wire a lot of money to a total strenger its like getting a random jeweler to polish your watch, buy a Rolex that someone got from his grandfather, or buy a bridge.
