i dont see what the problem was trying to get out of him (which i think i did) what it was he was really up to???Seriously, the most information i gave him in that convo was that i stayed in Port Elizabeth and i was in my early twenties. do you know how big Port Elizabeth is? do you know how many mandy's there are in port elizabeth? in primary school alone there were four mandy's in my class. its a very common name here.
And also if those two hours prevented him from trying to scam someone else in that time, then i've done my job.

Firstly,I have admitted to the fact that i was silly in thinking that this was real but whats so wrong about believing that not all people are scammers?whats so wrong about believing in the best in people?
And secondly, i'm sure you have had a DUH moment at some stage in your life...i'm just glad that i could come here and get some guidance before it went further...
so before you start "who in their right mind" and "not smart" think about the people like me who actually believe there is good in everyone first before judging. even if it is only by email.
and please also bear in mind that he had not asked me for money just yet...i suppose he would have at a later stage but at that stage of the conversation/email correspondance, he had not.
