Looking to add to our family... from Texasfarm's blog
So far we've started talking to three different ladies with the typical results. Two fakes/flakes/scammers, one princess. 0 for 3.
We tend to be practical (rural farm family) and, since we have been thru the process a few times before, have gotten pretty good at spotting the fakes, flakes, frauds, scammers and con artists.
The first (not from here, Brittany) wanted assurances and $2000 per month guaranteed income, paid apartment (living in a suite in the farmhouse not good enough), separate phone (not part of family plan), car, etc. In other words a paid mistress. I'm not going to repeat the wives comments....
The second and third were the typical damsels in distress. These types always have horrible stories about their horrible lives. So much so that they have gotten to be 'over the top' - you'd think they were auditioning for Springer. And, they almost always say 'I'm not looking to be rescued'. What they all seem to have in common is that they want to go slow (not a problem) and have all sorts of things that keep them from being able to actually relocate or consider relocating soon. Times tend to vary but they are always looking at 3 to 9 months. They don't like talking to the wives - independently or as a group, but will always chat up and often get a bit risque with me. Then, when they realize that 1) we are REAL, 2) we compare notes, 3) they will have to interact with all of us, 4) we won't 'help them' with bills etc. while they are dithering, 5) want to verify their existence thru other means, 6) ask point on questions about leases, debt, family ties, stuff to be moved, etc., they ghost and block.
Both #2 and 3 were from here. H & J.
I'm not sure why these folks seem to pop up in poly so much. But they do... they seem to be a very active bunch, and put in quite the effort.
Anyway, we are here for the long haul. We will succeed eventually - despite the catfishing cretins. And we will have tons of fun identifying the chaff.
