so one of my closest boys got scammed into a fake gf in the early days of internet and chat rooms.

He met her online somewhere and chatted with her online all the time and it eventually moved to IMs. I mean she was a real person so he was able to talk on the phone with her. The one catch--he like never saw her. Dude met her once with her sister to say hi in a parking lot and didnt see her again for like a year lol.

I think the premise of what she was doing was basically using him to buy gifts for her. He bought all kinds of stuff for her and would mail it or drop it off. When he would go drop it off, she wouldnt be there so he'd leave it in the driveway or with her sister.

Dude was "with" her for almost 2 years. Come to find out he found out she had similar relationships with at least 2-3 other dudes in different states.
